AWARDS
UCTE/LA Bill & Carol Strong Teacher of the Year Awards
Award Criteria
In our efforts to honor our colleagues, we seek nominations for all levels of teaching and professional accomplishment. We accept both self-nominations and nominations of others. Winners will be announced at the annual Utah Council of Teachers of English conference.
Nominators will need to complete the nomination form which consists of several questions and upload a letter of nomination (1-2 pages) which details why the nominee deserves to be recognized amongst the elite ELA teachers in the state. Nominators should consider addressing efforts that went above and beyond in areas such as curriculum creation, community connections, extraordinary leadership, inspiration to others, media integration, and mentorship.
Note: Nominees will not be required to submit a portfolio. Decisions will be based on the merits of the recommendation letters.
