Trautmann selected as American Star of Teaching
The U.S. Department of Education recently recognized Lloyd
Trautmann as a No Child Left Behind 2005 American Star of
Teaching. Trautman is a math and science teacher with the DIAL
Virtual School. The award presentation took place during a
face-to-face visit with Trautmann’s math students in Todd
County, located more than 350 miles from where he teaches.
A cooperative arrangement between DIAL (Dakota Interactive
Academic Link) and the Britton-Hecla School District allows
Trautmann to teach classes from a video studio located in
Britton.
Trautmann has been a full-time distance teacher for the past
three years. A fully certified high school teacher in South
Dakota, Trautmann teaches math and science in grades 7-12. He
has a master of science degree and holds a South Dakota
Advanced Professional teaching certificate. He has been
teaching for 37 years.
Teachers across all grade levels and disciplines will be
honored this fall as American Stars of Teaching. One teacher
will be recognized in every state and the District of
Columbia. A committee of former teachers at the U.S.
Department of Education selected the American Stars from among
2,000 nominations.
