We all know dozens of phenomenal teachers — or more. Please take a moment to nominate one or two of them for this statewide recognition. And share the word with families and partners so they can do the same. 

Here are the key dates:

• Nominations are due Feb. 21
• Teachers will submit their applications by April 5
• Our teacher of the year panel will select a winner from our region in the spring
• Regional teachers of the year will be honored across the state in September
• In October 2024 one of the regional teachers of the year will be named the 2024-25 Oregon teacher of the year and will be eligible to apply for the national honor

Regional teachers of the year will receive a cash prize of $1,000 and will be celebrated across the state. The 2024-25 Oregon teacher of the year will receive a $10,000 cash prize (with a matching $5,000 going to their school) and serve as a spokesperson and representative for all Oregon teachers.

Nominate a teacher today.
