2008 ATOY shares research
Arkansas’ 2008 Teacher of the Year Paul Gray, who returned to his classroom this fall at Russellville High School, shares insights he gained during his year working in-residence with the Arkansas Department of Education. As Teacher of the Year, Gray conducted research with students considered at risk for dropping out of or under-performing in school, which took him to 20 schools across the state. Kids Failing or Failing Kids is his report from that experience. While Gray says it contains few real surprised, it reinforces the fact that many of our students face extreme challenges that call for targeted and special interventions by schools and extra care from their teachers.
