NORTH KINGSTOWN - Barbara Morse, a math teacher at North Kingstown Senior High School, has been named the 2006 Rhode Island Teacher of the Year, Governor Carcieri announced this morning.

"Barbara has exhibited a strong devotion to implementing innovative teaching methods that engage each and every student. She's hard working. She's conscientious, and she challenges her students," Carcieri said of Morse, who has taught in the North Kingstown Schools for nine years.

Morse, a University of Rhode Island graduate, now becomes a candidate for National Teacher of the Year, which is announced in the spring.
