                        TIM DOVE, MASTER TEACHER

  Mr. DeWINE. Mr. President, I am pleased to take the floor today to 
recognize Tim Dove, a seventh grade teacher of Social Studies at the 
McCord Middle School in Worthington, Ohio. He has just been named 
Martha Holden Jennings Foundation Master Teacher for 1996.
  ``Teaching is Tim Dove's love and he excels at this vocation,'' wrote 
Jeanne Paliotto, principal of McCord Middle School where Tim teaches 
7th grade Social Studies.
  Dr. Damon Asbury, superintendent of Worthington City Schools, 
included this description of Tim's work in his letter of nomination: 
``When I think of a Master Teacher, four qualities stand out as being 
among the most important. The Master Teacher is one who (1) 
demonstrates superior performance as a teacher and as a learner; (2) 
inspires students to excel; (3) serves as a model and mentor for 
colleagues; and (4) deals effectively with the wide range of diverse 
abilities, needs, and background among students. Tim Dove meets and 
exceeds these high standards.''
  A graduate of Miami University--Ohio--with the MA from the Ohio State 
University, Tim is currently completing a Ph.D. program in global 
educational curriculum and techniques.
