Top teacher to talk at Clinton School

A former Arkansas teacher of the year will speak today at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock.

In addition to teaching 11th- and 12th-grade English and oral communication and serving as the drama director, Crossley is the literacy coach for grades six through 12.

His students were recognized for having the most-improved literacy scores in Arkansas. Crossley was also recently selected as a national honor roll teacher for the Fishman Prize for Superlative Classroom Practice and the Lowell Milken Fellowship for Unsung Heroes.
