During the decade-plus that 2015 South Carolina Milken Educator Kimberly Freeman taught Latin, she went the extra mile to connect what her middle school students were learning in class to the modern world around them. Using popular books like the Harry Potter series, as well as original ancient texts, Kimberly pointed both linguistic and thematic similarities between our world and that of the ancient Romans and Greeks.
=====================
For 30 years, the Milken Educator Awards, an initiative of the Milken Family Foundation, have rewarded and inspired excellence in the world of education by honoring top educators around the country with $25,000 unrestricted awards. Not an accolade for “lifetime achievement” or the proverbial gold watch at the exit door, the Milken Educator Awards targets early- to mid-career education professionals for their already impressive achievements and, more significantly, for the promise of what they will accomplish in the future.
To date, more than 2,800 Awards have been given out, totaling $70 million. The one-time financial prize is just the beginning. Milken Educators are given access to powerful networking and development tools throughout their careers in education. When combined, more than $138 million has been devoted to the overall program.
