Teachers Hall of Fame inducts five

? The newest members of the National Teachers Hall of Fame include a Brookville, Kan., woman who taught her first class at a one-room country schoolhouse.

Pat Lindquist retired after 31 years but has spent another 23 years substitute teaching and tutoring. She was one of five teachers recognized Wednesday at a ceremony in the nation’s capital.

Teachers also will be recognized this weekend in Emporia, Kan., where the hall of fame is based.

Another new member is Lisa Zahn Crooks, who teaches fourth grade at Black Bob Elementary School in Olathe, Kan. She often uses food as a teaching aid and has written a book, Munchable Math, that includes edible experiments with math.

Janice Gould, an art teacher at Lawrence Hall Youth Services in Chicago, is an inductee whose students produce holiday and note cards, school calendars and a school yearbook.

Inductee Dana Kelly, a language arts and math teacher at Southwest Elementary School in Lakeland, Fla., had her students make game kits with school supplies for a dozen local hurricane shelters and monthly care packages for students of a school for the deaf.

Also inducted was Jane Nelson, a physics teacher at University High School in Orlando, Fla., who developed a focus school that became a recognized magnet school after one year.
