Van Treese Recognized as Recipient of Excellence in Math Teacher Award

Van Treese, who has been a math teacher at Berkeley since 2007, said, “I am truly honored to receive this award from the Barrett Foundation.  It means so much to me to be nominated by my colleagues and students, and I appreciate their support!”
 
According to the Barrett Family Foundation, they established the Excellence in Science/Mathematics Teacher Award as a vehicle to recognize deserving educators. Through this award, the Foundation “proudly honors outstanding high school teachers who share their energy and enthusiasm for science or mathematics through creative and innovative methods.” The award further seeks to recognize teachers who are utilizing methods to cultivate student interest and ability in both fields of study.
 
The Barrett Family Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 public charity based in Clearwater.  Founded in 2013, the foundation is one of a few organizations of its kind to directly award teachers.
