BUMP! Tomorrow (Monday, December 7th) is the LAST DAY for this contest. So far I have 3 nominations. Surely there are more than 3 school staff worth thanking in this whole entire county! You can email me directly at rlk234 (at) gmail.com or write your thank you in the comments below. Thank you for participating.
In honor of Thanksgiving, I am hosting my own little Thank A Teacher "contest." I put contest in quotes because in true alternative education fashion, every nominee is a winner, although there are a few simple rules.
1. Nominations can be submitted through the comments below, or by sending me an email to: rlk234 (at) gmail.com.
2. You can remain anonymous, but the teacher* needs to be identified.
3. *I should put teacher in quotes too, because you could also nominate a principal, teacher's aide, school secretary, custodian, or other school staff who have made a difference in your, or your child's, life.
4. You can nominate more than one teacher, and please write something about why you want to thank this teacher.
5. The teacher(s) you are nominating could be someone who taught you or your kids a long time ago (or is currently teaching them), but they must still be actively teaching or working in the schools.
6. Any teacher that you want to honor needs to work in a school that serves students from Washtenaw County (It doesn't need to only serve students from Washtenaw County. For instance Plymouth-Canton, Van Buren, and charter or private school teachers can be nominated.)
And, as I said above, every teacher (or school staff person) who is nominated--and meets the qualifications above--will be a winner!
What the teacher/staff person will get by way of thanks:
1. Their name and position/school in this blog.
2. An email from me, to them, telling them that they are being thanked through the Thank-A-Teacher contest. If you use your name, I will tell them who nominated them. (Unless you don't want them to know who is thanking them, in which case you had better say that in your nomination.)
That's all. Except maybe I should have a deadline. Say...December 7th?
Deadline: December 7, 2009
Information, news, and ideas about Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, and Michigan schools; thoughts about education; and occasionally other stuff too.
Is this where we vote for a teacher? I am nominating Carina Seitz from Pioneer High School English dept. Her class is very demanding but interesting. She is kind and inclusive.
ReplyDeleteYes! Nominate a teacher here, OR send me an email at rlk234 (at) gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I nominate Susan Carpenter from Summers-Knoll. She is fun, works hard, and very warm to her elementary kids.
