Missouri ‘Teacher Of The Year’ Award Nominations Open
Nominations for the Missouri 2007-2008 TOTY ™ (Teacher of the Year) are being accepted through Apr. 30. The announcement came from the TOTY Award™ sponsor, Teachers’ Insurance Plan™, a car insurance program exclusively for members of the educational community.
The award will include $1,000 to the winning teacher and a $500 grant to that teacher’s school. The Missouri TOTY Award™ winner will also be eligible for the National TOTY Award™ that includes a special recognition and a $2,500 travel certificate.
Recent past state winners include Lara Hebbert of Springfield, Jessica Neal of St. Louis and Dan Heck of Washington.
Teachers, students and parents can nominate any of the state’s more than 85,000 accredited teachers. TOTY™ nomination forms are available on-line at www.teachers.com/toty.
To nominate an educator, or yourself, explain in 250 words or less why this teacher should be the Teacher of the year. Nominees will be judged on their ability to motivate students, their special talents and their contribution to their school, students or educational community.
Winners will be announced at the start of next school year.
