"My goal as a classroom teacher is for my students to have cultural knowledge, positive attitudes and motivation that will allow them to participate in a global community in which every person is respected, appreciated and honored. I hope my students realize that we are more alike than different, as well as the importance of learning to live together in harmony with these unique differences."

"I am truely honored to have been choosen as the co-recipient of the FCSS/SIRS Award this year. Global education is so important today. Students must be made aware and concerned about not only the events in their communities and nation, but also the events taking place on an internation scale. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to provide students with information concerning global issues. SIRS offers teachers the resources to stay updated on global activities, and also provides teachers with excellent resources to use with our children. I have been thrilled with the results I have seen from my students when they have used SIRS as a resource. Again, thank you for the honor of receiving such a prestigious award from such an outstanding company."
