Judy Hyatt has been a classroom teacher of English and Language Arts since 1960. She has taught in rural and urban high schools, an inner city junior high schools, and for the past 22 years, as small town middle school. In addition to teaching, she has been active in amateur theater, human rights causes, and her professional association.

In 1993 she was chosen Coeur d'Alene, Idaho's, Teacher of the Year.

Concurrently, other teachers in the district did the same, and today the program is used with great success at all levels throughout her district.

Carolyn Dobbins is a "teacher's teacher." During her more than thirty years of teaching, her classroom has often been the place where new and prospective teachers visit to learn from her. She has left her mark.

She is often stopped in shopping malls, parking lots, grocery stores, etc. by excited former students. "I will never forget," or "Do you remember the time..." crescendo off their lips like gathering winds, and the excitement grows as they talk. Her students love and appreciate each day they spent in her classroom.
