Distinguished Educator Award Recipients, 2006-2007
Richard Lopez, July 2007
"I think I will always approach things as a person who feels he is new and knows very little about what he is doing! Short of that, I think good teaching comes from being prepared and from having high expectations of your students and yourself," he says. |

Lydia Hearn, June 2007
"I am so honored to have been selected as a Distinguished Educator because I find it almost overwhelming to be recognized for something that I feel it is a privilege to do." |

Marion Winters, April 2007
"I strive to empower those with whom I work and those whom I teach to examine their situations, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors through their own lenses and to not allow others to interpret nor define who they are." |
Roger Letson, March 2007
"Roger is a gentle giant in his field. His modesty prevents him from mentioning it, but he is very well-known and highly respected, both here and abroad, in the world of vocal jazz education. Since its inception, his ensemble Vocal Flight has won major awards and accolades on a regular basis. De Anza has been truly fortunate to count him among its faculty for so many years." |

Joanne Hames, January 2007
"Mrs. Joanne Hames has an extraordinary soul. She extends kindness to her students that I have never witnessed by any other instructor anywhere. Her attentiveness to her individual students has an extraordinary kindness and gentility." |
Marilyn Patton, December 2006
"She has opened my eyes to paths that I never thought about crossing. Never did I want to be an English teacher, but the more I think about it and the more time I watch her in her element, I want to change my major."
