Berkeley Teacher Honored as CUE Outstanding 2016 Teacher
Berkeley Technology Academy (BTA) teacher Margaret Agbowo-Onyewuenyi was awarded Outstanding Teacher by the CUE Awards Committee in February 2016. The CUE Outstanding Teacher award recognizes a classroom teacher who is making a noteworthy contribution to educational technology in a classroom setting. At BTA, Ms. Agbowo is known for infusing her classroom with technology so students are exposed to industry-standard tools and "learn to learn" to keep up with trends. Using technology to support standards-based curriculum is a key factor in being selected for this award.
