Three area teachers named Golden Apple finalists Naperville203 barrington220 Bighollowelem
After embarking on her teaching career years ago as a Golden Apple Scholar, Ford now has been selected as a state finalist for the Golden Apple Award for Excellence in Teaching for her work with English language learners and low-income students at Sunny Hill Elementary School in Carpentersville.
Ford, who began teaching at Sunny Hill in 2005, is an enrichment instructional specialist in Barrington Community Unit District 220. In a role she helped create in 2008, Ford supports elementary, middle and high school students who either currently attend or previously attended Sunny Hill and are part of the district's gifted program.
Horner, who teaches everything but physical education, art and music at Meadow Glens, was nominated in part because of his ability to create a"socially conscious classroom that reflects the background of the students and aims to find common beliefs among them to bring them together," according to Golden Apple officials.
