Outstanding regional educators are nominated for the award by SDCTE members. (Nominations must be in by December 15. You can download a copy of the nomination form here.) A committee consisting of Mary Moeller, Teresa Berndt, Karen Harrington, and past Teacher of the Year winners chooses the Teacher of the Year from this pool of nominees.
Criteria: The teacher of the year is professionally minded, visible in SDCTE (as well as other areas of professionalism), as well as an ongoing member of the SDCTE.
