Dist. 54 teachers honored for 1,000 books
The Schaumburg Township Elementary District 54 school board plans to visit 20 teachers across the district to praise them for filling their classroom libraries with more than 1,000 books. The teachers join 195 others in the district previously recognized for achieving the milestone.
A significant body of research states that the more children read the better readers they become. As part of the district’s Literary Task Force, experts recommend that every classroom should have 1,000 book to meet the wide range of abilities and interests of students.
The newly recognized teachers are at Armstrong, Blackwell, Collins, Churchill, Enders-Salk, Fox, Link and MacArthur elementary schools and Keller Junior High.
