SALT LAKE CITY -- The Salt Lake City School District and the Salt Lake City Board of Education on Tuesday announced Mary Jane Morris as the 2010 District Teacher of the Year and Noreen Mullen as the 2010 District Special Education Teacher of the Year.
Morris has been teaching for 33 years and currently has the assignment of being elective teacher and co-facilitator for the AVID program at Northwest Middle School. She works with 60 students who will be the first in their families to attend college.
Mullen is a special education teacher at Dilworth Elementary School. Her peers and students say she focuses on the ability of the student and not the disability.
Both teachers will be recognized at the Salt Lake City Board of Education meeting Tuesday night. Morris will receive a $2,000 check from the Salt Lake Education Foundation; Mullen will receive a $1,000 check from an anonymous donor.
