Has a student inspired you?
Talk about inspiration. When we asked teachers—the people who constantly try to inspire students—to tell us about a time when they themselves were inspired, we knew we’d read about some amazing students. But we got our own dose of inspiration when we read one particular entry. The teacher told us not about one but four inspiring students.

We’re happy to announce the winner of the 2008 Microsoft Inspired Teachers Contest:

Carole Colburn of Dansville, Michigan

We’re glad Ms. Colburn shared her story with us and we invite you to read, “Four Special Students.”

We would also like to congratulate these other Inspired Teachers winners:

  • 2nd Place: Kristin Mary Wilkey, 7th grade teacher in Missouri
  • 3rd Place: Vicki Meyers, 4th grade teacher in Michigan
