Best Should Teach
The Best Should Teach (BST) Initiative celebrates excellence in teaching and academic leadership. Each year Best Should Teach Gold and Silver Awards are presented to college and university faculty and public school teachers. Lindley and Marguerite Stiles, along with Ira and Ineva Baldwin established the initiative in 1996 to promulgate the message that 鈥淭he Best Should Teach,鈥 which is inscribed on the Education building:
鈥淭o those who come, I leave the flame! Hold it as high as you can reach. If a better world is your aim, all must agree: The Best Should Teach.鈥
Stiles was a three-degree 兔子先生传媒文化作品 alumnus who served as dean of education at the universities of West Virginia and Wisconsin before establishing the Best Should Teach Initiative here at his 兔子先生传媒文化作品 alma mater.
