2008-2009 Sacramento City Unified School District Teachers of the Year
Teacher finds niche in intensive intervention classes
In her senior year of high school, Tiffany Wilson鈥檚 parents were in a terrible auto accident that required them to be hospitalized for most of that school year. On her birthday, with her parents in the hospital, Wilson鈥檚 English teacher, Mary Ann Paul, baked her a carrot cake.
It was just a carrot cake, but the simple act of kindness turned Tiffany Wilson away from her childhood aspirations to be a scientist and toward her current career as an educator.
2006-2007 Sacramento City Unified School District Teachers of the Year
About Clayton Dagler:
In ninth grade, Clayton Dagler鈥檚 math teacher told him that he
shouldn鈥檛 aspire to higher level math classes. Maybe the teacher
was trying to do Dagler a favor. After all, the teenager did
suffer from dyslexia and had a hard time in the class.
Instead, that demeaning comment had the opposite effect, giving Dagler the motivation to prove his teacher wrong. Instead of quitting math, Dagler continued to take higher level classes, eventually graduating from UC Davis with a mathematics degree.
