A local teacher in Virginia Beach is in the running to be named America's Favorite Teacher! Here are more details:
Right now, Lee Salazar, or "Ms. S.," is in the quarterfinals and she’s hoping to be voted into the semis.
One thing that sets Ms. S. apart from her competitors is where she teaches. She has been teaching and working with the special needs community for more than 20 years.
She’s in her first year teaching at the new Maverick Learning Center in Virginia Beach: a school for children on the autism spectrum. There, Salazar works with kindergarten-aged kids.
She works with each student according to their own needs, teaching everything from how to spell and say words and to how to work with money.
Recently, Salazar was nominated for Reader’s Digest’s America’s Favorite Teacher competition.
She’s gotten enough votes to make it into the top 1% of the competition, advancing to the quarterfinals. As far as she knows, she's the only local teacher still in the running.
Love this so much! Vote HERE and get more info below!
