N. Balchunas, 2001
State Teacher of the Year, Florida |

According
to Joseph Balchunas, "The road to success is always under construction."
It is a credo that he strives to teach his students as they embark
on their educational journey. During his time at Fairway Elementary
School in Miramar, Joseph has devoted himself to improving the critical-thinking
skills of his children while promoting a classroom atmosphere that
relies on cooperation, communication, and cultural acceptance. Joseph
believes that the single most important factor in a child's social
and academic development is the bond forged between parents and schools.
His formula is simple, "Schools + Parents = A+ Schools." Joseph was
recently named a 2000 National Milken Educator. In 1998 he was named
a Wal-Mart National Teacher of the Year. The road to success may always
be under construction, but Joseph tells his students they will travel
it together. |
