After being selected as the school Teacher of the Year, I was asked to write an essay for the district TOY.
I was honored to be chosen the District Teacher of the Year! Now I write another two essays and a video interview to be considered for Regional Teacher of the Year.
You definitely do not need to be nominated to know your value as a teacher. Parent gifts and children letters affirm this truth daily.
However, getting recognized by your peers is a blessing and an affirmation that they see your hard work. I want my building to see I am a team player above all else. I will show up when I can or prepare if I am unable. I will help out where needed, including in the rain or when it makes me uncomfortable.
I will step back and let others lead and follow willingly. In teaching, it comes down to team.
