Flagstaff Mayor Jerry Nabours, right, presents Nicholas I. Clement, NAU’s Ernest W. McFarland Citizen’s Chair in Education, with the Legendary Teacher Day proclamation. Dignitaries, faculty, staff and friends of the university gathered this week as Flagstaff Mayor Jerry Nabours declared Sept. 25, 2014, as Legendary Teacher Day. The proclamation supports current teachers and encourages members of the community to contact their own “Legendary Teachers” and let them know how they made a difference. This is part of an initiative spearheaded by Nicholas I. Clement, NAU’s Ernest W. McFarland Citizen’s Chair in Education, in conjunction with the College of Education and the Educational Leadership department. In an effort to support current teachers who are on their way to legendary status, Clement has started a foundation that will award micro-grants of $100 to teachers. The grant fund will be open for online applications beginning Oct. 1.
