Here is the ISBE press release on June 18, 2012 regarding that award along with 25 other educators.

- State Board, IEA and IFT to recognize more than 25 educators for their outstanding performance in specific content areas

- Award recognition luncheon features teachers from across the state

Springfield –

The Illinois State Board of Education, along with the Illinois Education Association and the Illinois Federation of Teachers, will honor 29 educators from across the state for their outstanding achievement in a variety of subject areas during a luncheon Thursday at the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield.

The educators were chosen as the best in their field of expertise during the 2011-12 school year by their respective professional education organizations.

“These are teachers who go above and beyond expectations on a daily basis,” said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch.

“They are professionals who set a high bar for themselves and work with the best interest of their students in mind at all times.

We join their colleagues and local communities in recognizing them for their excellent skills and dedication.”

Thursday’s event will be the second annual Exemplary Teacher Recognition Award Luncheon hosted by the State Board and the two state teacher associations.

“Teachers are classroom catalysts; the people who make sure our students are engaged and learning,’’ said IEA President Cinda Klickna.

“We're proud to recognize these outstanding teachers who exemplify the great work taking place in schools throughout Illinois.”

Each fall, the ISBE names one teacher of the year and recognizes more than 150 educators nominated by their own district or members of their communities for outstanding service.

Sixth-grade-language arts and social sciences teacher Josh Stumpenhorst was chosen as the 2012 Illinois Teacher of the Year.

Mr. Stumpenhorst teaches at Lincoln Junior High School in Naperville Community School District 203.

Thursday’s event will honor teachers cited by their peers and leaders.

“We know teachers across Illinois do outstanding work with their students every day,” said IFT President Dan Montgomery.

“This event is a great way to highlight top teachers who have been recognized by the private sector and professional organizations as true experts in the areas they teach.”

In addition to the teachers listed below, the Environmental Education Association of Illinois recognized Instructor (non-certified) Diane Kane as the Formal Environmental Educator of Illinois for her work in the Belvidere School District 100 and Instructor (non-certified) Dan Miller received the Association’s Malcolm Swan Award for his work in Rockford Public Schools District 205.
