Clutching the blue Milken Educator Award envelope embossed with her name, Theresa Cross gets a congratulatory hug from a colleague. 

As a TAP master teacher, Cross’s directional skills impact the whole school, especially the math department. She shares best instructional practices and curriculum resources with faculty, counsels and conferences with career (classroom) and mentor teachers, analyzing all student data to determine best courses of action to aid struggling students. Cross also sits on multiple school committees and leadership teams, and conducts professional learning exercises that nurture educator effectiveness and a positive school culture.
