“I believe I was selected as a finalist not because I am the best online teacher,” Andrew Vanden Heuvel said, “but because of my enthusiasm for online education and its power to transform how we approach teaching and learning in our nation.”
Andrew, an Michigan Virtual physics and astronomy instructor, is a finalist for National Online Teacher of the Year. He was recently profiled by The Muskegon Chronicle in Online Teacher Andrew Vanden Heuvel reaches for the stars and national award.
