Seward Teacher Named 1999 Alaska Teacher of the Year. Gov. Tony Knowles and Commissioner of Education Shirley Holloway made the announcement Friday and called Walker at his school. Walker earned a bachelor's degree in anthropology from Idaho State University, and his teaching certificate from Alaska Pacific University. It should not be entered into lightly nor performed by amateurs.
Good teaching requires planning, preparation, delivery and reflection if it is to succeed.
Walker was chosen from a field of 13 applicants submitted by school district selection committees consisting of parents, school administrators, teachers, students, and business and other community leaders. Dan Walker possesses an excellent combination of teaching experience and leadership. He is a wonderful representative of the best qualities and abilities of our best teachers who are working hard in classrooms all over the state.
