Gilder Lehrman Institute Recognizes History Teacher of the Year

The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History recently announced the 2005 History Teacher of the Year Award to Rosanne Lichatin, a U.S. history teacher at West Morris Central High School in Chester, New Jersey. Mrs. Lichatin’s 30-year career in education includes experience in both elementary and secondary levels of instruction. She currently teaches a Pre-Advanced Placement U.S. History I class as well as U.S. History II, and is actively involved in the International Baccalaureate Program as a mentor for students doing research in the area of history. Mrs. Lichatin is a member of the National Council for History Education and the Organization of American Historians. In addition, she is a co-advisor of the National History Club, which was launched in 2003 at West Morris Central High School. Laura Bush, First Lady of the United States, presented Mrs. Lichatin with her award at a ceremony in New York City on October 14th.

Inaugurated in 2004 by Preserve America, the History Teacher of the Year Award is designed to promote, celebrate, encourage and honor the teaching of U.S. history in America’s classrooms. The Gilder Lehrman Institute was selected by Preserve America and the White House to coordinate and present this annual award, which honors one outstanding K-12 teacher of American history from each state and U.S. territory.

History teachers at every level, from elementary through high school, are eligible for nomination, and each state winner is a finalist for the national award.#
