In an estimate the total number of teachers in California more or less 300, 000. Every year 5 of them are awarded as the State Teacher of the Year.

It was a prestigious event and one of our fellow Kababayan was great enough to win one of those State teacher of the Year award. She was none other that a teacher named Lovelyn Marquez-Prueher. She was originally from the land of Cavite.

She is the fist Filipino to win the State teacher of the year award. She current teaches at the Dodson Middle School.

In one of the interview she said, "I'm absolutely thrilled and honored. It's really a wonderful opportunity to talk to parents, talk to fellow teachers, talk to students all over California about what it's like to be an immigrant, someone who was suspected of having a learning disability, having to overcome those obstacles."

A lot of her students were having problems learning English. They could not adopt quickly to the fast paced lessons on English language.

Teacher Lovelyn was not a stranger to this problem for she had experienced it as well when she was just new to the place.

She uses a different kind of technique that will surely give the chance to students to have fun while studying. She uses various methods with a combination of interaction and fun games.

It is truly an honor to have a fellow Filipino to win an extravagant award as the State Teacher of the Year.
