The Sebastopol Rotary Education Foundation seeks nominations for the most outstanding West Sonoma County Teachers.
This year awards will go to three teachers. One in each of these categories:
As in past years, we will honor three teachers selected from your recommendations. However, as listed above, our selection criteria have changed for two of those three teachers this coming year. We want to honor one new teacher, with three or fewer years in the profession. New teachers often face daunting challenges as they come to grips with the task of actually educating students in the classroom. Too often, their effort is unrecognized. We’d like to correct that so that you have the opportunity to show one of your new teachers how much you respect the effort they are putting in to become a great educator. The second new category will honor a teacher who has promoted an innovation that has had a material impact on your school or district. We appreciate that between the introduction of new technology and the recognition of new obligations, schools are constantly searching for creative ideas that improve the quality of education they offer students. Management experts like to point out that some of the best ideas come from the bottom up. We agree and want to encourage your teachers to offer ideas and insights that make what you do better. |
The third teacher honoree will be selected based on our historic criteria. He or she may come from an elementary, middle or high school, and has had a long, valued career at your school.
Students, parents, alumni, community members, colleagues, children, and others are invited to submit nominations. Each West Sonoma County Teacher of the Year will receive a $1000 cash award and will be recognized, along with their guests, at a Sebastopol Rotary Club luncheon on April 17, 2020. The Teacher of the Year nomination form should be completed on our Nominations page, found here. Alternatively the form can be copied and emailed to the Sebastopol Rotary Education Foundation at: teacher@sebastopol-rotary-education-foundation.org. If you prefer to print a copy of the form, that's our least preferred option but completed nomination forms may be sent by U.S. mail to SREF, P.O. Box 213, Sebastopol, CA 95473. Nomination forms should be typed and proofread for spelling and presentation. Please limit your nomination to 2 pages single spacing, preferably with less that 1500 words.
