He is a retired teacher at Columbine Elementary School in Boulder where he taught for more than 20 years. He currently serves on the School of Education Development Advisory Board. Eligible students should be committed to working in schools with a high percentage of low-income students or schools that have a high percentage of bilingual or multilingual students.
