Becky Rahm, a math teacher at Luverne Middle-High School, was recognized with the Educator of Excellence award at the nonprofit BestPrep’s recent annual luncheon at The Depot in Minneapolis.
The Educator of Excellence award was given to 12 Minnesota teachers who have been longtime partners of BestPrep and its programs in their classroom curriculum.
Rahm first became involved with BestPrep’s Technology Integration Workshop (TIW) as an attendee and then continued working with BestPrep by helping her fellow Luverne teachers attend the workshop.
For the past several years, Rahm has been a specialist at the workshops, helping attendees update their unit plans with the new technology knowledge they gained from the workshop.
“The more staff that attend TIW, the better off our students are in Luverne,” she said. “The workshop has helped me grow professionally by staying current on new trends in technology, which, therefore, helps my students. I personally gain from the workshop’s opportunity of working with other quality educators from around the state.”
About 500 people attended the annual luncheon.
