DCPS Teachers Recognized for Excellence in Teaching
Five Duval County Teachers
received the 2008 Excel Awards at the First Annual
Excellence in Teaching Awards Program in Orlando. Three of the five
Duval County teachers will receive awards in
two separate categories.
The Foundation for Excellence
in Education, created Excellence in Teaching to
recognize the importance of teachers in providing a
quality education. The program is based on three core
principles: 1) All students can learn and students
should learn a year’s worth of knowledge in a year’s
time; 2) Effective teaching is the key to student
achievement and conversely, student achievement is a
measure of effective teaching; 3) The skills and
techniques to become an effective teacher can be
learned.
