Nominations have now opened for the 2021 Alberta Muirhead Teacher of the Year Students Choice Award.
This annual award is sponsored by the Dearborn Area Chamber of Commerce and presented by LaFontaine Automotive Group. The nomination deadline is Friday, May 28, 2021 at 5 p.m. The online nomination form can be found at http://bit.ly/DbnTOY2021.
Paper nomination forms can be printed from here or picked up at any Dearborn Public School or the District’s Administrative Service Center. Completed forms can be dropped off or mailed to the Dearborn Area Chamber of Commerce, 22100 Michigan Ave., Dearborn, MI 48124 or faxed to (313) 584-9818. Adults may assist students in completing nominations when necessary. No more than two teachers may be nominated per student.
“In a year where every teacher is deserving of this award, I hope many of our students will take a few moments to nominate their favorite teacher. Nominating a teacher for this award is a great way to honor them and show appreciation for the work they have done to create a meaningful educational experience in the virtual, hybrid, and in-person classroom,” said Dearborn Public Schools Superintendent Glenn Maleyko.
Applications will be assessed on the quality of the nomination, not on the number received. Award judges are members of the Dearborn Area Chamber of Commerce Education Committee and are not provided with the teachers’ names. One winner from each category will be announced at a special ceremony at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center on Thursday, Sept. 23 at 4:15 p.m.
Winning teachers receive a $1,000 cash prize and a glass award commemorating their achievement.
