KANSAS MASTER TEACHER AWARD· 1, Bank of America Master Teacher Award

Emporia State University established the Kansas Master Teacher awards in 1954. The awards are presented annually to teachers who have served the profession long and well and who also typifY the outstanding qualities of earnest and conscientious teachers.

The university's Administrative Council originally developed the Kansas Master Teacher Award program in the early 1950s. Dr. Everett Rich, former chair of the English department, was the driving force behind the program.

The program was first discussed in 1952. Because of the illness and subsequent death of President David L. MacFarlane in 1953, nothing was done to establish the program until the following year. In 1954, with the suppOrt of Dr. Don Davis, the chair of the division of education, and the approval of the new president, John E. King, the first awards were made.

In the early days of the program, numerous faculty members and others connected with the college were involved in establishing policies and procedures. Dr. Davis added "Kansas" to the name. Rich suggested "distinguished," but that word was changed to "master." Ray Cremer, business manager, promoted a monetary award for the recipients, but Dr. King believed that watches were more appropriate, so watches were awarded. CO. Wright, executive secretary of the Kansas State Teachers Association, suggested that local teacher associations or similar educational groups make the nominations. Dr. Rich coordinated publicity for the awards across the state.

2 • KA NSAS MASTER TEACHER AWARD The Kansas Master Teacher Award program expresses appreciation for the generosity of Bank ofAmerica. Since 1980, this Emporia bank has pledged over $100,000 to permanently endow the Kansas Master Teacher Awards. Bank of America and its senior officer, Carol Patterson, are committed to assisting Emporia State University in its efforts to excel.

Each year, local teacher associations and school faculties nominate candidates for the awards. In January, a committee representing educational organizations from across Kansas selects the winners.

The 2010 selection committee included Cheryl Reding, Kansas Association of Colleges of Teacher Education; Mary Masters, Kansas-National Education Association; Jackie Waters, Kansas PTA; Rodney Roush, Kansas Association of School Boards; Terri Sullivan, Kansas-American Association of University Women; Sarah Splichal, Kappa Delta Pi (student representative); Sarah Meadows, Topeka, and Ken Bingman, Blue Valley, recipients of the 2010 Master Teacher Black Endowed Chair.

A committee of Emporia State University faculty and administrators coordinates local arrangements. The committee includes: Ken Weaver, Jenny Harder, Sue Peterson, Scott Waters, Lucie Eusey, Donna Breshears, Beth Dobler, Sarah McKernan and Lori Mann, chairperson.

Information concerning the Kansas Master Teacher Award program is available on The Teachers College web site. Go to www.emporia.edulteach/ and click on Kansas Master Teacher.

KAN SASMASTER TEACHER AWARD· 3 The William A. Black Kansas Master Teacher Endowed Chair

n 1984, the Black family of Broken Bow, Oklahoma, established an endowed I chair for Kansas Master Teachers. Each year, this permanently endowed fund provides a stipend for twO Kansas Master Teachers to spend part of a semester at Emporia State University.

The master teachers selected teach classes and work with students who plan careers in education. The endowed chair provides a valuable experience for Emporia State students and a meaningful opportuniry for the master teachers.

The William A. Black Kansas Master Teacher Endowed Chair was eStablished by Marea Belfield Black to honor the Black family's lifelong dedication to public education. The endowed chair is named for her husband, Dr. William Albert Black.

The late Dr. Black (pictured above) was born November 25, 1897, in Green County, Missouri. He received his bachelor's degree in 1926 and his master's degree in 1934 from Emporia State University. He received his PhD in philosophy, education, and psychology from the University of Colorado. Black was nationally known for establishing junior colleges and for his work in school finance and curricula.

During his career, he served as presidem of the Pueblo (CO) Junior College, director of junior colleges and curriculum for the state of WashingtOn, and as the head of the departmem of education and philosophy at PittSburg State University. In 1962, while at Pittsburg State, he received the Kansas Master Teacher Award.

Black married Marea Belfield on November 7, 1920. The Black's son, William Vincem Black, was born March 31, 1922, and the family moved to Broken Bow, Oklahoma on March 1, 1973. Dr. Black died on OctOber 12, 1983. Emporia State University is deeply grateful to the Black family for this generous comribution.
