Teachers have a challenging and often under appreciated job. The Post-Bulletin and Newspaper In Education invites you to nominate a K-12 teacher who is making a difference.

The areas to be considered in making the award include personal initiative, going far beyond the "call of duty," innovative teaching methods, and encouraging students to achieve high level academic goals and success.

To nominate a teacher, please download the form below. Be sure to include as many details as possible in your reasons for nomination. Nominations must be in by the 10th of each month to be considered in that month. Nominations from previous months will be considered with all current nominations each month. The deadline for the final Teacher of the Month for this school year is May 9.
