2013 Crystal Apple Awards Partners in Educational Excellence and Workforce Development

11th Annual Crystal Apple Awards Recognizing area educators for innovations in the classroom

The 2013 Crystal Apple Program kicked off in January, when area business leaders visited classrooms, invited students to fill out nominations, and distributed gifts of appreciation to every teacher in the participating school districts.

Partners in Educational Excellence and Workforce Development received over 750 nominations this year for 287 different teachers. From these names, a ballot was created for teachers to vote on their top selections - a minimum of one teacher was selected to represent each school.

In March, the following Teachers of Distinction were announced:

As the selection process moved forward, recommendations from school principals were provided and the Teachers of Distinction submitted a personal statement describing their educational philosophy. The written materials identified ways these teachers inspire and motivate students, their use of innovative projects or programs, as well as their involvement in the community and their pursuit of professional development.

The final step occurred in mid-April when the Teachers of Distinction met with a selection panel comprised of a group of leaders from area businesses who place a high value on an educated workforce. The final selection was based on expertise (professionalism, knowledge of subject matter); innovation (advanced classroom techniques, teaching methods); and leadership (student guidance and rapport, reputation among colleagues, community involvement).

We are pleased to announce the 2013 Crystal Apple Award recipients:

Kendra Haessly Margaret Miskulin

Scott Schiller Tami Wolff Lescynski

Thank you for your Excellence in Education!

All Teachers of Distinction will be honored at the Crystal Apple Awards banquet to be held October 2, 2013, at the Holiday Inn and Convention Center in Marshfield.
