'You're some punkin' Ms. Turano' Teacher at St. Rose's on national board By Harv Bishop Register Staff Most teachers get apples. Vicki Turano got a pumpkin. The large poster or a jack o'lantem painted and signed by her eighth grade students at St. Rose or Lima's School reads: " You're some punkin' Ms. Turano. Wow!" Turano recently was appointed to a two-year term Qn a national educators' board sponsored by the Carnegie Forum or Education. She is the only teacher from Colorado among the board's 64 members and its only Catholic school representative. She said the task or the group, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, is to find ways to prepare students to cope with science and technology in the 21st century, boost the number or minority teachers, and design standards for a voluntary national teaching certificate. Hometown kid Turano sees her herself as a hometown kid made good. " When I looked at the resumes of the people on this board I was in awe," she said. " I thought, 'Should I be here?"' She said the board counts among its members national teacher union leaders, author-educators, a state legislator, and a candidate from the ill-fated, NASA-sponsored "Teacher in Space" program. The board's first meeting was in Washington, D.C. " When I arrived in Washington I was a little afraid," she said " I had only traveled in an airplane once before. I was in Washington alone I didn't know anyone. I usually don' t have any trouble talking, but I was afraid I wouldn't be able Vicki Turano said of her students, "I think they know I like each and every one of them."
