Get to know your California Teachers of the Year a little better.....

Welcome to our blog, a journal of our journey to Japan as 2010 California Teachers of the Year.  As ambassadors of the California Department of Education, and educators throughout California, we look forward to learning about educational practices in Japan and meeting with our teaching counterparts and their students in the classroom.

Below, is a biography of each 2010 Teacher of the Year, providing our readers with more information about ourselves, our schools, and our individual philosophies about teaching and education.
