The official press release came out from D.C. this morning. The 4 National finalists are Gay Barnes from AL, Rebecca Lynn Mieliwocki from CA, Angela Wilson from the Department of Defense - currently teaching in Italy, and Alvin Aureliano Davis from FL.
I am sure they are all quite overwhelmed at the idea of being National Teacher of the Year, as I can only imagine the feelings I felt as a state finalist magnified tenfold. They will be interviewing in March and the announcement comes in April during our Washington D.C. trip. President Obama will name the National teacher in the Rose Garden after we each individually get to meet him in the Oval Office - what a dream!
In just a few days I get to meet these fabulous 4 as well as 51 other outstanding teachers in Dallas. We are already starting to communicate via a National Teacher of the Year online network. Get ready for a lot of posts from my daily learning!
