Annually, Regional Teachers of the Year are selected at the elementary and secondary levels for each of the state’s 20 education service center regions. These Regional Teachers of the Year become semifinalists for the state Teacher of the Year competition. From these semifinalists, a state panel selects one Texas Elementary Teacher of the Year and one Texas Secondary Teacher of the Year. One of these two teachers is then selected to represent the State of Texas in the national Teacher of the Year competition.
The Teacher of the Year nomination guidelines and application for 2011 are available on TEA’s website at http://www.tea.state.tx.us/index2.aspx?id=7295 . The guidelines outline the program requirements and contain suggestions for conducting local Teacher of the Year searches. School districts may select their Teacher of the Year through a locally developed process. Please note that the completed application for each local school district’s Teacher of the Year must be received at the district’s respective regional educational service center no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, June 25, 2010 (Central Standard Time), to be eligible to compete for regional and state honors.
