Teacher of the Year Voting Has Begun

Voting opened last week for our first ABCTE Teacher of the Year award and runs until Thursday, July 29 at 5pm EDT. In early August, the state winners will be announced on our website and then a national winner will be selected. The national winner will be flown to Washington D.C. to receive the award before a representative from the U.S. Department of Education as well as members of ABCTE's Board of Directors and staff.

Over 3,000 votes have already been cast and we're thrilled with the excitement we've seen in just the first few days. Thanks to all of you who have spread the word on Facebook and Twitter, over email or through word of mouth. We appreciate it. This award is a great way to put the spotlight on the great work ABCTE teachers are doing. We thank all the principals who nominated teachers and all the ABCTE teachers out there making a difference. In addition to the finalists for Teacher of the Year, we also awarded Honorable Mentions.

Stay tuned for more news on our first Teacher of the Year award.
