BEST STUDENTS NAME BEST TEACHERS

A select group of America's teachers are being honored by their toughest critics...their former students, in the fifth edition of "Who's Who Among America's Teachers, 1998."

All of the approximately 130,000 teachers being honored were selected by their former students who themselves are currently listed in "Who's Who Among American High School Students," or "The National Dean's List," publications which recognize five percent of our nations high school and college students respectively.

The students were requested to nominate teachers who "made a difference in their lives" by helping to shape their values, inspiring interest in a particular subject and/or challenging them to strive for excellence.
