Pamela Yau Smith, a Learning Enhancement and Academic Design teacher at Edgewood Elementary School—and a graduate of our Orlean Bullard Beeson School of Education and Professional Studies—received word a few days ago that she is one of 32 educators across the country this year to receive the Milken Family Foundation Award, a prestigious honor that is known in the world of K-12 education as the “Education Oscar.”  Congratulations, Pamela!

The world is better because of the creativity and dedication of Pamela Yau Smith and the graduates of the Orlean Bullard Beeson School of Education and Professional Studies.
