BARRE – Beginning this year the Agency of Education will be partnering with the University of Vermont for the Vermont Teacher of the Year and National Teacher of the Year process.
Educators recognized at the 2016 UVM Outstanding Teacher Day, have been invited to apply for the 2018 Vermont TOY. Interested candidates must submit an application for consideration to the Vermont Agency of Education by July 14, 2017. Beginning in late July, a volunteer committee comprised of previous Vermont Teachers of the Year, a Principal of the Year and a representative from the VT-NEA will assess the applications, interview candidates and recommend the top three finalists to the Agency of Education.
The finalists will be interviewed by the Vermont State Board of Education in September 2017. The Agency of Education will make the final determination for the Vermont Teacher of the Year and the runner-up.
