Interview with Bill Cecil - 2003-04 Teacher of the Year

Bill Cecil has taught for 22 years in the Waverly Community School District, he is the author of a book titled Best Year Ever - Winning Strategies to Thrive in Today's Classroom and in 2003-04, Bill represented all Michigan teachers as teacher of the year during that year.

Bill talks to us about what it was like to represent all Michigan Teachers as teacher of the year. "It is probably the scariest roller coaster ride you ever are going to be on, but it's an incredible year."

Bill's latest project in association with MIEM is a free video-on-demand seminar designed to "spread a message of hope and determination to those fellow colleagues out there, not just teachers, but all educators" Bill says his efforts are inline with Malcolm Gladwell's book called 'The Tipping Point' "I think the epidemic has already started, but I wanted to help spread this epidemic."
