Don Clark Award 2009: Eula Monroe |
 |
 |
 |
Eula Monroe has been in education for fifty years. Her reason for going into the profession was to make a difference in the lives of others. She believes good teachers made a difference in her life, and she wanted to pass that on to others. Eula’s favorite thing about teaching is the people, both teachers and students. She has high expectations for her students, but she is willing to do whatever it takes to help them meet those expectations.
Eighteen years ago, she left her home state of Kentucky to come teach in the Department of Teacher Education at BYU. She has authored or co-authored several books including a series on problem solving, three basals, and a math dictionary. She has also written numerous articles.
For the past four years, Eula has been teaching courses for the state’s Math Endorsement for Alpine School District. Eula is a great example, thank you Eula Monroe! |
