5/15/08

Twenty education students were recently awarded with "Always Expect More of Aggie Teachers" Awards. These awards were presented by Teaching, Learning and Culture Department Head Dennie Smith to recognize the talent of both undergraduate and graduate students in a variety of education programs.

Winners were selected based on an innovative accomplishment or a significant impact they had made in the field of teaching and learning during their field experiences or student teaching. Professors, teachers and administrators nominated students for the awards.

"All of the award winners went beyond the expectations of our students," Smith said. "They had true passions that were expressed through their products or actions."

Graduate students Marlon James and Kamala Williams were recognized for the innovation of the Classrooms of Oppression project while Lohman Learning Community students Lynette Avina, Tameka Crayton, Kendal Gay, Rabiah Kafray, Bobbi Moore, Samantha Moore, Luis Perez, Katy Phelan, Isaac Salazar, Vanikin Sanders and Brandy Woodard were awarded for their assistance with the 2008 Education Career Fair.

Ashley Broll, Megan Malnar, Anna Sauvageau and Andrea Smith were awarded the International Education Pacesetter Award for student teaching abroad in Switzerland during the spring semester, Laura Erskine and Megan Hinson received the Innovative Video Production Award, and Brianne Neil was recognized for her creative project during her field experience.

Students received cash awards ranging from $200 to $1,000 and certificates of recognition.
