Denver Teachers' Awards will be accepting nominations for the 2011-2012 Distinguished Teacher Awards until Tuesday, January 31, 2012.
This is an opportunity to recognize and award an outstanding teacher in your school. 

A nominee must have taught five years or more in the District prior to this year and must not have won this award before. This year we are accepting only one nominee from each school. Schools that are operating as K-8 schools may submit a nomination for a teacher at the K-5 level and another nomination for a teacher at the 6-8 levels. The nominations are judged and scored by a committee of college professors. Final selections are based on the results of the committee’s scores. The Denver Teachers’ Awards Board of Directors does not participate in the judging. We do, however, try to ensure that elementary, middle school and high school teachers are all represented in the final selection. The quality of the content of the nomination is the basis for scoring.

The Denver Teachers’ Awards program of recognizing outstanding teachers and volunteers offers a way to honor tremendous contributions to excellence in education. This program is a way to show support and admiration for our public school teachers. For additional information, please contact Mrs. Norma Wick at 303-759-1377, Mrs. Dorolyn Griebenaw at 303-477-4125.
