NEWPORT — Nominations are now open for the 2015 Vermont Teacher of the Year program, and nominating a teacher this year can be easily done online.
For the first time since the Vermont Teacher of the Year program launched in 1964, the public is being invited to join Vermont educators in going online to directly nominate teachers for this prestigious statewide distinction. The winner serves as an advocate for Vermont’s teachers, students, and education system.
Nominations can be completed through March 28, by clicking HERE.
To encourage more submissions, the process has been simplified to require only the most basic information about the nominator, the nominee, and their school, as well as a short overview of what makes the nominee an extraordinary teacher.
To be considered for the Vermont Teacher of the Year program, a teacher must hold a current Vermont teaching license, with a minimum of five years teaching experience, and be employed by a Vermont public, private, or approved independent school.
Vermont’s current Teacher of the Year is Luke Foley, an Alternative Program teacher at Northfield Middle High School.
