Teacher Appreciation Week: Who's Your Favorite Teacher?

Tell us about the teacher(s) who had the biggest impact on your life.

We all have a favorite teacher, a person who changed our lives with encouragement, sound advice or a kind word.

I've posted mine in the comment section below. Check it out!

Who is your favorite teacher? Do you know of a great educator you would like to recognize from the past or present?

Here are some ways you can highlight the teachers who have impacted you or someone you know:

  • Post a photo or video tribute on this story (click Upload Photos and Videos) or in our Pics & Clips section.

Many teachers have influenced me.. however, the one that comes to recent memory is Mark Ludwig, at Cal State Sacramento. Mark is a fair teacher who pushed us as journalists and taught us many essential skills we needed to survive in this crazy world of journalism. He was funny, smart and looks like Tim Robbins in "Shawshank Redemption"
Some say Mark was tough on his students, I like to say he pushed us to succeed. Cheers to you Mr. Ludwig!

Didn't O'Reilly's just close on the other side of town? There's a 'for lease' sign on the building.

Great to see the 4th graders getting ready for their 5th grade camp at Alliance Redwoods. I took myRead More 6th graders there for many years and Alliance has an outstanding program that keeps the kids focused on environmental education and stewardship. The night hike through the redwoods was always their favorite (along with the zip line). Note: No need to bring snacks as the dining hall meals has everything you will need, but you may want to bring some extra money for the gift shop. Dan Mattingly/Retired Teacher

Thanks for the post Dean. The Dixon VFW has contributed several thousand dollars so far to bothRead More homes in Dixon and will be contributing a lot more in the future for these Vets. The housing program is managed by the North Bay Coummity Action Council (formerly known as the Fairfield/Suisun CAC). The Vets are very grateful for all the community support.
