Teacher of the Year Program

The National Teacher of the Year Program began in 1952 and continues as the oldest most prestigious national honors program that focuses public attention on excellence in teaching.  Sponsored by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the Smarter Kids Foundation, this program is the longest, ongoing awards program honoring classroom teachers in the country.  The West Virginia Teacher of the Year Program is coordinated with the national program and annually recognizes all county teachers of the year at a ceremony in Charleston.  A committee appointed by the State Superintendent evaluates all county nominees and interviews a select group of finalists before making their final decision.  Chosen from among the State Teacher of the Year nominees by a national selection committee, the National Teacher of the Year is introduced to the American people by the President of the United States.  The West Virginia Teacher of the Year 2010 West Virginia Teacher of the Year Application and 2010 Teacher of the Year General Guidelines are accessible by clicking on their links.
