Aronsky brought
the Stock Market Game to the Hart District over five years ago and has many
local schools participating in the program. The game not only exposes students
to the real business world, but also reinforces math, reading, social studies
and science skills using the world of business.

He also works on
the state level with the Department of Education, Business Education State
Advisory Commission, and state legislators to bring new ideas and help to
expand the business education offerings in the state. He previously served as
president of the CBEA- Southern Region.

Aronsky will
accept his award at the association’s annual conference in Napa this November. The local educator also
received the honor in 2005-06.
