Robin S. Schamberg, 2001
State Teacher of the Year, New York
Robin teaches European History advanced placement, college psychology, humanities, and model Congress at Ramapo High School. She believes that education ultimately begins with respect for oneself and for the educational process, as well as for all involved. In addition, she wants her students to understand the importance of tolerance and that one person can make a difference by speaking out and taking action when faced with inhumanity. Another idea she promotes is that students should understand the political process and that they can help bring about positive changes through their participation in this process. In addition, she believes students should be rewarded for excellence. She has consistently served on leadership committees in the school district with a focus on helping students reach the state standards.
