Submit Nominations for Maine Teacher of the Year 2022 On January 1st
It's nearly a new year and a new year which means we get to nominate a new round of teachers for Maine's 'Teacher of the Year' for 2022.
Who do you think deserves this high honor? Who do you think deserves recognition for their time and dedication with Maine students?
Parents, students, school administrators, colleagues, faculty members, and associations can start nominating their picks for Maine teachers starting January 1st.
First, a teacher is chosen at the county level, then, a teacher is chosen out of those 16 for the state teacher of the year for Maine.
