Shirley Rosenkranz teaches an integrated English curriculum at Temple City High School in Los Angeles County. Her emphasis on developing her students' creative abilities has resulted in the publication of two full-length books written by students. It is her belief that "integrity, honesty, love of freedom, and dignity are the cornerstones" of interaction between teacher and student. Ms. Rosenkranz, who has been teaching for more than 20 years, was honored as the state's 1987 Teacher of the Year.
