Springdale Teacher Wins Arkansas 2020
Teacher of the Year Award
For the first time since 2007 the Arkansas Teacher of the Year award has made its way
back to Springdale. Joel Lookadoo spent his first 6 years as a math teacher in the district
at Lakeside Junior High. This year is his first as an instructional facilitator at the Don
Tyson School of Innovation. Lookadoo, a 2008 graduate of Shiloh Christian, holds a
Bachelor's Degree from the University of Central Arkansas and a Master's Degree from
Arkansas State University. He is married and has two children who are 1 and 4. This is an
outstanding honor for our city and our school district. Congratulations on a job well done
Joel.
