Who’s Who honors educators nominated by students from Who’s Who Among
American High School Students, Who’s Who Among American High School Students-Sports
Edition, and students honored in The National Dean’s List. Who’s
Who Among America’s Teachers was first published in 1990. The volume is
published annually, and the eighth edition was published in October 2004. It
honors approximately 156,000 outstanding teachers in six separate regional volumes.
Teachers are listed alphabetically in the volume of the state where they work.
The nomination process for Who’s Who is unique in that it is the one recognition
program in the education field where the ultimate consumers of education—the
students—have the opportunity and responsibility to honor the teachers
who have most significantly impacted their lives. Following are some statistics
of honorees in the eighth edition: Gender: female 65.3 percent, male 34.7 percent;
Degrees completed: Average 1.7 per teacher, Bachelor’s degree 99 percent,
Master’s degree 63 percent, Doctorate 7 percent. Additionally, 31.2 percent
of the recipients are members of the National Education Association, and 86.4
percent teach at a public school.
