Congratulations to Scott Brauer, who was named a winner of the Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence this morning. Brauer, a manufacturing teacher at Niagara Career and Technical Education Center in Sanborn, NY, won $35,000 for his school’s program and $15,000 for himself. A total of $1.5 million was awarded today to 25 public high school skilled trades teachers and their programs across the United States.
“When we teach each student as an individual, we send a powerful message: You matter, your learning matters, I see you, and I care about your success,’’ Brauer said.
