This may be the best part of my job: asking you, reminding you, encouraging you to take five minutes right now to nominate a great teacher for the Blackboard Awards For Teachers, which celebrates excellence in local education. New York Family has been sponsoring the awards for more than 10 years, and I promise you these teachers who give so much to our children and our schools really appreciate the recognition. As a parent, you are essential to helping us identify deserving educators. So please visit blackboardawards.com and let us know about a wonderful teacher.
*Please keep in mind that we honor teachers from all education systems (public, private, charter, and parochial); all ages groups, from nursery through high school; and all specialties, including special education and college guidance.
