“We’re thrilled to have four NLU National College of Education alumni recognized with this year’s Golden Apple awards. These teachers are exemplars of the impact on children’s learning that we aspire to for all NCE graduates. To be able every year to point to Golden Apple and other awards for excellence in education is a testament to the importance and value of strong, innovative and creative teacher preparation programs and faculty.”

CELEBRATING OUR GOLD-STANDARD TEACHERS By Pam DeFiglio
Teachers watch with anticipation every year as Golden Apple (in the Chicago area) and the Golden Apple Foundation of Rockford go through the process of fielding nominations for outstanding teachers, making personal visits to the finalists’ classrooms and then finally selecting Golden Apple award winners. This year, four National Louis University alumni got the thrill of having the media, their principals, officials
and others surprise them in their classrooms with the exciting news they had won Golden Apple awards for excellence in teaching. Golden Apple bestowed awards to two Chicago-area teachers, and Golden Apple of Rockford bestowed two to teachers in northern Illinois. Congratulations to the four NLU alums among this year’s winners: Lisa Buchholz ’95, Meghan Dolan ’10, Katherine Koehler ’17 and Lance Tuula ’12.
