Nominations Due for 2010 Maine Teacher of the Year

Accepted now through January 30

December 19, 2008

AUGUSTA – Nominations are being accepted for 2010 Maine Teacher of the Year. Any certified Maine teacher who is currently giving daily classroom instruction in a Maine approved public or private elementary or secondary school may be nominated.

The Teacher of the Year program does not attempt to single out any individual as the best teacher in Maine, but rather to honor one teacher who represents all the excellent teachers in our State. Selecting a Teacher of the Year is an exceptional way to celebrate the many outstanding and dedicated people teaching in Maine schools.

The Teacher of the Year program is supported by the Maine State Teacher of the Year Association, the Maine Department of Education, and the Maine State Board of Education, and generously funded by Hannaford Supermarkets.

Parents, teacher and others can start the process of nominating a teacher. For detailed information about the criteria, nomination process, nomination form, and guidelines, visit www.maine.gov/education/toy.
