A North Gwinnett Middle School teacher has won a $7,000 prize for her “innovative” teaching methods.
Cheri Nations, an eighth grade science teacher, will receive a $3,000 stipend and a $4,000 school grant thanks to her focus on “STEAM” education. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
