Thousands of talented Iowa educators lead and inspire their students. One is chosen annually as the state’s top teacher. The Teacher of the Year serves as an ambassador and liaison to primary and secondary schools, higher education and organizations across the state. Through April 25, nominations for the 2017 Iowa Teacher of the Year will be accepted from anyone—including students, parents, school administrators, colleagues, college faculty and associations. Nomination forms are available at www.educateiowa.gov/pk-12/award-exchange-programs/iowa-teacher-year-toy.
