A Maryland public school teacher and Howard University graduate on Wednesday was named the winner of a global teaching prize worth $1 million — the biggest such award for educators in the world.
Keishia Thorpe, who teaches 12th-grade English at the International High School at Langley Park, in the Prince George’s County public school system, received the Global Teacher Prize at the Paris headquarters of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. Her students mostly come from immigrant and refugee families.
