The National 180 Awards are also given as a way to acknowledge the educators who help guide their students toward success. This year, 397 nominations were said to be submitted throughout the country, with just 57 educators being selected as winners. Mollianna's anonymous nominator stated, 'Mollianna not only provides an academic opportunity for her students to grow, but she also provides an opportunity for the students to take ownership of their learning and fosters their social emotional development.'
