Teacher of the Year,

About the event

METHODOLOGY

Northern Virginia Magazine polled readers, schools, and community members to find educators deserving of our first annual Teacher of the Year Award and its $10,000 prize. We narrowed the pool of candidates and assembled a panel of expert judges to vote on the Teacher of the Year finalists. After reading through packages of nomination materials supporting each teacher that included essays from principals, assistant principals, colleagues, parents, and current and former students as well as each teacher’s résumé, these judges selected their top three candidates in ranked order, based on criteria including each teacher’s ability to inspire students to learn; demonstrate leadership within the school and community; develop cooperative relationships with parents; master knowledge of their subject matter; and their overall impression of the teacher’s accomplishments. 

Why should you sponsor?

Northern Virginia is one of the most afluent areas in all of the United States and the community has a huge connection with the Teachers and schools.  The spononsors will be front and center on supporting local education and the Northern Virginia community.  We will have major Media exposure during the process of choosing the winner and when the award is presented.
