Continuing on with my blog series: Education A to Z, I am up the letter N. It is with great enthusiasm that I encourage parents and students alike to nominate an innovative teacher that they know for the 2007 Disney Teacher Awards.
What are the Disney Teacher Awards? Every year The Walt Disney company, in support of education, holds a contest in which people can nominate a teacher that has made learning fun, is a creative person in the classroom and has inspired students to be the best while engaging them in learning.
Does this sound like a teacher you know? Do you have a teacher in your life who is just plain phenomenal? A teacher who goes above and beyond for her students? A teacher who has an incredible gift inside that classroom, a gift for thinking of and utilizing new and innovative ways to get kids learning? If so, why not show that teacher just how much you appreciate him or her? Nominate her for a Disney Teacher Award.
Typically there are around 50 thousand nominations received yearly for this wonderful award. The people who are chosen as the winners of the Disney Teacher Awards receive 10 thousand dollars from Walt Disney and a trip to Walt Disney World. This trip will include the obvious…fun, but it also includes a gala for the awards presentation and professional development time. The schools that the winning teachers teach at are also given five thousand dollars from Disney.
Nominations are only accepted until October 15th! So hurry if you have someone in mind. Feel free to check out the awards or to nominate that special teacher by clicking here!
What a dream come true for a talented teacher! I highly recommend if you know any teacher that is truly gifted at what she does, to nominate them and show them just how much you appreciate what they do!
