MTPS Teacher/ESP of the Year Nominations
The Governor’s Educator of the Year program is a way to recognize educators who have gone above and beyond in their service to our students. Students, staff members, parents, and community members are encouraged to nominate an educator in the district they feel meets the description above and the criteria below to be recognized this year. While we know that we have many educators who go above and beyond every day, we are only able to recognize one teacher from each of our schools, as well as an educational service provider (ESP) from each level (elementary, middle, and high school). All award recipients will be recognized at an awards ceremony in the Spring.
Educators nominated for this award must meet all the following requirements:
-
Be an exceptionally skilled and dedicated licensed classroom teacher (PreK through grade12) where teaching is the primary responsibility rather than administrative or supervisory responsibilities or an educational services professional who is listed as one of the eligible enrollment areas (see list below)
-
Be an expert in the field who inspires students of all backgrounds and abilities to learn
-
Actively collaborates with colleagues, students, and families to create a strong culture of respect and success
-
Demonstrate leadership and innovation in educational activities at the school, district and/or state and national levels that take place both within and outside the school setting
-
Have the respect and administration of students, parents, and colleagues
-
Have not earned the title of Teacher of the Year or ESP of the Year for the past five years
