Teacher of the Week

The not-so-uncommon story of a little boy who was 3 when Covid shut the world down. By the time he reached 5, he was not prepared for a typical school day.

Receiving compliments for your work is always a good feeling. It's even better when it comes from one of your colleagues.

What would seem like almost too much for one teacher, is not for this very special elementary school teacher. One mom shared what makes him so remarkable.

The 815 Supply Drive, which collected thousands of school supplies for area teachers' classrooms, just wrapped up with one last unbelievable donation.

Being told by your older sister, the Covid nurse, that you are her hero, was all it took for this 6th-grade teacher to give her waterproof mascara a challenge.

Getting young people to love reading can often be one of the most difficult tasks for teachers and parents.

Helping 4-year-olds get a head start on school learning has many challenges. This teacher found a great way to inspire high achievement.

One of the greatest privileges of working at 97ZOK is getting to honor teachers in the Rockford region every week.

Congratulations to 97ZOK's new 'Teacher of the Week, Jamise Roberts from Riverview Elementary School in South Beloit, Illinois.

Exhaustion doesn't come close to describing how thousands of teachers feel, yet they still 'show up' in pretty amazing ways. We all should be this grateful.
