Teacher Appreciation Week 2019 - TVT Teacher Excellence Award Nominations
Tucson Values Teachers is excited to announce a special edition of our Teacher Excellence Award. But we need YOUR help!
We are asking students to nominate their outstanding teachers for the Teacher Excellence Awards to be handed out in May during Teacher Appreciation Week (May 6-10).
We are asking students to submit a video nomination explaining why their teacher deserves to be recognized with the Teacher Excellence Award. Students can submit a nomination individually or work together and submit as a group. Parents, administrators, and other adults may help students (especially our younger kids!). Creativity is encouraged!
All K-12 Southern Arizona teachers are eligible to be nominated.
To submit a nomination, students will need to:
- Create a video explaining why their teacher should be honored with a Teacher Excellence Award. Videos must be no longer than 60 seconds and available in MP4 or MOV formats.
- Fill out a brief nomination form that includes a link to download the video: http://bit.ly/TeacherExcellenceAward
Please encourage your student to honor their outstanding teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week!
Nominations are open from now until April 25.
Thank you for helping us recognize outstanding teachers in Southern Arizona!
