September 2011 Winner

Mr. Ken Johnson

Salisbury Middle School

Salisbury, MD

Nomination: "Ken Johnson goes the extra mile to ensure that all of his students are engaged in learning. He does this through the use of his nutsy "mad-Scientist" approach to teaching, using the drama skills he's gained through working with Community Players in Salisbury, and the "outside-the-box" thinking he's learned from coaching and co-facilitating the SMS Destination Imagination program. In addition to teaching and coaching DI, he also runs the SMS Drama program, the SMS Robotic "Lego-League" and the SMS Television studio."
