Prince George’s Teacher Honored


Michael Powell was chosen from teachers all over the world to be honored as one of the best.

In Michael Powell’s family, “you’re either a preacher or a teacher,” said Powell, an assistant principal at Patuxent Elementary School in Upper Marlboro.

With 10 years of experience as a math and science teacher at Morningside and Patuxent elementary schools, and his current job as an administrator, Powell has carried on the family legacy and achieved high honors for his work in the classroom and behind the scenes.

This month, Powell was one of two educators named 2010 Outstanding Young Educator of the Year by ASCD, formerly the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, an Alexandria, Va.-based nonprofit, membership-based organization founded in 1943 that promotes leadership among educators through professional development programs and materials.

Powell and an elementary school principal in Newport News, Va., were selected from a pool of more than 250 nominees under the age of 40 from around the world.
