They can be dropped off or mailed to the Dearborn Area Chamber of Commerce, 22100<br \/>\nMichigan Avenue, Dearborn, MI 48124, or faxed to (313) 584-9818. Adults may assist students in completing<br \/>\nnominations when necessary, but no more than two teachers can be nominated per student.<br \/>\nStudents may nominate new or veteran teachers whom they feel have made outstanding contributions to the<br \/>\nteaching profession. Pre-K through second grade students are asked to describe how their teacher makes learning<br \/>\nfun. Students in this category can include a nice drawing, if they wish, but it will not be part of the selection<br \/>\nprocess. Third through fifth grade students must describe how their teacher has created a classroom where<br \/>\nlearning is positive and fun. Middle school students (grades 6-8) are asked to explain how their teacher connects<br \/>\nclassroom learning with everyday life. Students in high school must describe how their teacher is preparing them<br \/>\nto be successful beyond high school.<br \/>\n\u201cNominating a teacher for this award is an outstanding way for students to show their teachers how much they<br \/>\nappreciate and value the job they are doing in the classroom and the positive impact they have on their life. We<br \/>\nhave so many excellent teachers who are deserving of this recognition, and I hope all of our students will take a<br \/>\nfew moments to nominate their favorite teacher,\u201d commented Dearborn Public Schools Superintendent Glenn<br \/>\nMaleyko.<br \/>\nApplications will be assessed on the quality of the nomination, not on the number received. Award judges are<br \/>\nmembers of the Dearborn Chamber Education Committee and are not provided with the teachers\u2019 names. One<br \/>\nwinner from each category will be announced at a special ceremony being held at the Ford Community and<br \/>\nPerforming Arts Center on Thursday, April 26, 2018 at 4:15 p.m.<br \/>\nTeachers selected to receive the Teacher of Year Award are being recognized as positive role models who<br \/>\nconsistently provide unique, productive, positive classroom experiences. Teachers selected receive a $1,000 cash<br \/>\nprize, a glass award commemorating their achievement, and most importantly will be part of a select group of<br \/>\nDearborn teachers who have been recognized by the community for their dedication and passion for teaching.<br \/>\n\u201cI want to thank the Chamber of Commerce and all the sponsors for once again hosting this event,\u201d Maleyko<br \/>\nadded. \u201cOur district is very fortunate to have so many great community partners.\u201d<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was so HONORED to be nominated by some families last year!
