Serbian immigrant turned PE teacher named Oregon's best in elementary
After earning his teaching license in the U.S., Ratko Pavlovic told his wife he wasn't sure if he could teach, worrying about his English skills.

He earned his teaching license at the University of Niš in Serbia and began teaching physical education, a profession that has always called to him.
