Janet I. Price

Janet Price currently teaches Kindergarten at Hainerberg Elementary School, Wiesbaden, Germany. She received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from Illinois State University in 1970. Janet believes that forming a strong home/school partnership is essential to students' success. "I spend a lot of time with the families of the children, and by the time the year is completed, we have spent several evenings each month at potlucks, parenting discussions, progress sharing sessions, curriculum sharing programs, and 'Make and Take' activity sessions." Janet believes in the words of Marion Jones, Olympic gold medalist, who said, "I've never worked a day in my life. Don't get me wrong. I work at track. If you love what you do, it's not work." Anita Lang Anita Lang Isles District/United Kingdom Anita Lang teaches science, grades 9 through 12, at Lakenheath High School in England. She received her Master's Degree from New York University in Deafness Rehabilitation and Education. She believes that the curriculum needs to be as applicable as possible to the real world, particularly the science curriculum. Anita feels that students need to be given time and encouragement to try out their "what ifs." She states, "I rarely give them (students) an answer since I know it will be more meaningful and memorable if they discover it for themselves."
