The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network recently named Maryland teacher Rich Espey as its 2011 GLSEN Educator of the Year.
The award recognizes a “remarkable educator who has demonstrated a commitment to GLSEN’s mission of ensuring safe schools for all students, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity/expression.”
Espey was chosen from among 100 educators nominated for the honor. He has taught middle school science for 23 years and since 2005 has been the sponsor of a middle school gay-straight alliance, directing student-based and teacher-based programs to promote safe schools.
