Milken Educators: Where Are They Now? (Part 1)

August 4, 2015

By Rebekah Schilperoort

Through honoring the country’s top educators for the past 28 years, the Milken Educator Awards— an initiative of the Milken Family Foundation—has driven excellence in the world of education and inspired countless future educators. 

Milken Educator Award winners are welcomed into a powerful professional network that serves as a valuable resource to fellow educators and policy makers at all levels. Many recipients have gone on to shape and influence education policy and practice today. For the first of a multi-part series, we asked Milken Educators to reflect on how winning the award has impacted their lives and careers.
