http://ww123.net/thread-4807398-1-1.html,知道了有这么一位雷夫老师。
首先需要说明的,我看过雷夫老师写的《第56号教室的奇迹》,显然雷夫老师是很有想法,很有思路的、负责人的老师。但是我没有看出来作为美国“最佳老师”的雷夫老师特殊的贡献在哪里。
而且我也很好奇。所以找到了雷夫老师的介绍:

中文的介绍是1992 “全美最佳教师奖”,而英文的介绍是“1992 Disney National Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award”。
我没有找到1992的迪斯尼奖项的说明,但是找到了1999年的这个奖项的介绍:

The Walt Disney Co. Monday announced the 39 teacher Honorees whose classroom creativity will be saluted at the Nov. 14 Disney's American Teacher Awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
这是一个公司级别的奖项,不知道这个奖项在美国是什么级别的。也没有找到1992年雷夫老师奖项的原因。
美国还有一个国家教师的奖项,这个奖项是总统亲自颁奖的。

"We're thrilled to showcase some of America's most innovative teachers who are using creative approaches in the classroom to help kids learn," said Laurie Lang, senior vice president, The Walt Disney Co.
这些教师获奖不是因为他们的成就,也不是由于他们的有成就的学生,而是因为他们的创新的教育方法。
Esquith has a much longer work day than is typical for teachers, starting at 6:30 a.m. and not ending until 5 or 6 p.m., and he has said that can't be expected of other teachers. His longer period of time with the students helps him to both cover material that will be on standardized tests and teach topics that he himself is passionate about — Shakespeare, Mark Twain, and baseball (used both to help with physical fitness and mathematics).
雷夫老师确实非常的负责任。但是如果在中国他敢这么做,那他就是一个很多家长眼中的坏老师。
太晚了,暂时写到这里。.
