The DoDEA Teacher of the Year (ToY) Program is designed to recognize and honor outstanding teachers who exemplify the qualities of professionalism and excellence in our teaching workforce. The DoDEA ToY Program is modeled after the Nation's Teacher of the Year Program, sponsored by the Chief States Schools Officers, and provides an avenue for the DoDEA ToYs to be nationally recognized. Any stakeholder may nominate a DoDEA teacher for this award. Nominees are highly encouraged to participate in the application process.
The ToY Program brings RECOGNTION to great teachers, students, parents, districts, the profession, community, and DoDEA.
Letters of nomination will be accepted by the District Superintendent's Office (DSO) as determined by the timeline.
