Surrounded by cameras and microphones, Milken Educator Award recipient Lauren Hopkins talks with reporters after her surprise notification. Hopkins teaches students at all levels, from gifted to special needs; last year she co-taught an 11^th-grade classroom with a special education teacher. She brings the latest educational methods into her class, included blended learning, station rotations, close reading, Socratic seminars and multiple grouping patterns. Her classroom library contains more than 100 books Hopkins has personally read and recommends to students.
