SALT LAKE CITY — Utah’s Teacher of the Year, Carley Maloney, travels the state, surprising fellow teachers who are making a difference in their classrooms.
“We’ve been able to feature a teacher a week and teachers don’t do this for the recognition. But they absolutely deserve the recognition and celebration for their expertise,” Maloney said.
This month, she recognized Matt Malmborg, a fourth-grade teacher at Wasatch Elementary, a Title One school. Malmborg was nominated for inspiring students with his love and engaging lessons.
“That is exactly what a teacher leader does they remain in their classroom, they lead in their classroom, they are connecting to the community in which they teach,” Maloney said.
