"A good teacher needs not only a good understanding of what he or she teaches, but also a sense of excitement in learning and a clear vision of how the key elements of a subject can be conveyed to students." President George Bush named Forman the 51st National Teacher of the Year last June. Forman's visit is sponsored by the IUPUI chapter of Kappa Delta Pi, a professional education fraternity, and the Education Students Advisory Council.  Announcements ...
