Does your child have an amazing teacher who goes above and beyond the call of duty? Maybe it's a teacher's aid who really helps out in the classroom?
Ottawa University in partnership with KEZ 99.9 FM want to honor these great educators in our community throughout the 2008-2009 school year!
Students and parents of students are encouraged to nominate K-12 teachers who are excellent at their profession make a difference in their student's lives.
Each month, a Valley K-12 teacher will be selected from all the entries to be recognized for their outstanding contribution to education. KEZ’s Marty Manning will visit the teacher’s school to surprise them with their “Excellence in Education” Award, plus the surprise visit will be broadcast live during the Beth and Bill Show!
All winning teachers will be rewarded with $99, an Excellence in Education plaque and prizes from KEZ & Ottawa University. In addition, each winner's photo will be featured right here on kez999.com!

Tips from Ottawa University |
Q: How can I become certified to teach K-12 in the State of Arizona?
A: For those with a baccalaureate or advanced degree from an accredited university wishing to become certified to teach in Arizona schools, Ottawa University offers a teacher certification program. The program is designed to meet the requirements set forth by the Arizona Department of Education for public school teaching. The Teacher Certification Program provides the necessary training, coursework and expertise needed to acquire a teaching certificate in elementary education or secondary education.

This Month's
Excellence in Education Winner
is
Mr. Ronald Alldredge of
Saguaro Hills Christian School in Mesa
|
Mr. Alldredge is both a teacher and the administrator of our school. I realize that most of the teachers honored are public school teachers, but there could be no teacher in our city that is more dedicated and devoted to providing a good education than Mr. Alldredge. As a private school educator, Mr. Alldredge is severely underpaid. He makes far less than he could make working in the private sector. He is our history teacher, and as a former White House employee he has a unique, "first-hand" ability to bring American History and U.S. Government to life. I feel so fortunate every day to have him teaching me. He has inspired me to begin to really care about our government both local and federal. I know this would not have happened if not for Mr. Alldredge. I now do believe that one person can make a difference. I hope you will agree and will honor him as your educator of the month. There is no one who deserves it more.
