Award Honors Teachers Who Inspire and Cultivate Learning (DURHAM, June 30, 2011) – Pamala Miller of Hanover High School in Hanover, NH, is a recipient of a 2011 PBS Teachers Innovation Award.

The PBS Teachers Innovation Awards recognize educators’ creative use of public media to engage students and improve learning. As America’s largest classroom, PBS is working with educators to provide tools and share innovative teaching methods to meet the emerging needs of today’s learners. PBS Teachers is the Web portal to PBS’ preK-12 educational services and its searchable library of more than 9,000 free local and national standards-based instructional resources, including on-demand video and interactive games.
