Welcome to the class of 2010! I arrived in Dallas, apprehensive, nervous, and excited. Like many of my fellow Teacher’s of the year I was wondering what the week ahead would hold.
Right off the we were all introducing ourselves. An array of voices announcing, “Hi, I’m Donna from Oregon”... “Hi, I’m Stephanie from D.C”... “Hi, I’m Holly from Louisiana”... “Hi, I’m Susan from DoDs”... After awhile, I was associating folks with their state rather than their name! The best thing about it is, now I have a face for every state in our nation, and the U.S. territories!
Last Night in Dallas

About Me
- Donna DuBois
- I began my teaching career in Utah earning a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. Topics of study included literacy instruction, and child development. This concentration gave me a strong foundation in understanding best practices for elementary students. In 2006, I earned a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership focusing on learning assessment and system performance. This specialization provided advanced graduate training in both practical & technical aspects of documentation and use of school outcomes. My focus included understanding systems for assessing learning and utilizing results. During my 20 years as a professional educator, I have taught 2nd-5th grade. I also taught K-5 technology classes. Additionally, I held the position of Title One Coordinator and in 2007-08, also I worked as a professional development specialist for our central office. In this position I created and taught many professional development workshops in literacy education and technology integration. In 2010 I was named Oregon Teacher of the Year. This honor allowed me to attend International Space Camp, meet President Obama, and to collaborate with educators around the world.
