AZ Milken Educators Welcome Aga Cook in Fort Mohave

FORT MOHAVE, AZ—It's a big day at Camp Mohave Elementary School: Arizona Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction Margaret Dugan is visiting to celebrate the school's "A" rating. But there's another reason for the all-school assembly—and one grade-A teacher is about to get the surprise of a lifetime. Watch Aga Cook's reaction as National Institute for Excellence in Teaching Chief Executive Officer Dr. Joshua Barnett, representing the Milken Family Foundation, calls her name as an Arizona Milken Educator. It's a $25,000 surprise the multi-talented fifth grade teacher, K-8 curriculum coordinator and data coach never saw coming.
