Teachers College alumna Dedria Lacy has won Education Update’s Outstanding Educator of the Year award. Lacy was one 10 teach honored by Education Update, a monthly newspaper that covers education in New York City.

Lacy and other teachers, as well as 11 administrators, were feted at a ceremony at the Harvard Club of New York City in July. Lacy, who is a teacher at PS 335 in Brooklyn, received her master’s degree in education from TC in 2004.

During the ceremony, TC President Susan Fuhrman introduced Randi Weingarten, President of the American Federation of Teachers, who was one of three recipients of the Distinguished Educator of the Year award. Education Update, which began publishing in 1995, was founded by alumna Pola Rosen, who serves on TC’s Alumni Council.
