Steve Sonksen has been named the 2013 Texas History Teacher of the Year by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, HISTORY®, and Preserve America.
After a lengthy application process, a panel of teachers, administrators, and academics from Texas chose Steve for his use of primary documents in the classroom, the level of inspiration that he provided to his students and his career achievements in education.
