Thank you to everyone who nominated a teacher this year. We received hundreds of nominations for outstanding teachers across our state. 

 

The County Teacher of the Year program recognizes and honors the contributions of Maine's public classroom teachers, creates a greater public awareness of the teaching profession, inspires and motivates future and current teachers and promotes teacher leadership. Each year, 16 County Teachers of the Year are selected to represent outstanding educators who are committed to the quality education of Maine students. During their year of service, the cohort engages in ongoing professional development and many local and statewide activities. One of the County Teachers of the Year is selected as the State Teacher of the Year.
