Also meet the 2003 winner, Beverly Plein, who went from teaching cooking classes in Cresskill H.S. to teaching technology through the internet at the Benjamin Franklin Middle school in Teaneck .

We'll meet two of the 2004 honorees. Jill Stauffer teaches at George Washington Elementary School in Wyckoff and Theresa Bordo teaches at Cunningham Elementary School in Vineland.
