I just posted this to the VEMA list but thought I'd post it here as well. I couldn't report on this at the last Board meeting because it wasn't official yet. But now it is!
I’m spreading the word about Virginia’s new Thinkfinity Teacher Excellence Award because you may know someone who should enter—librarians are one of the two main persons who are being asked to nominate teachers for this award! The prizes are really nice and the recognition will be quite a nice thing to have on a professional record.
Details about the award are outlined at our Thinkfinity in Virginia website: http://www.thinkfinityva.org/teacher_excellence_award.cfm and have been sent through a Sup’s memo (http://www.doe.virginia.gov/administrators/superintendents_memos/2011/050-11.shtml). If you have any questions about the requirements or how to go about nominating someone, please let me know. The deadline for entries is May 30, which will be here before you know it, so start encouraging your teachers now! One reason we wanted to do this award is to recognize those teachers out there who often aren’t noticed because they are humble about what they do—they never think they’re doing anything special. You know better, so encourage them!
