Now is the time to give those teachers the recognition they deserve! We are accepting nominations for the 2024 County Teachers of the Year. You can nominate the teachers who make a difference every day in your school(s). The MTOY program includes the selection of 16 County Teachers of the Year – one of whom will be selected as the 2025 State Teacher of the Year. Administrators are key partners in this program – to nominate, to urge teachers to accept the nomination, and to support their journey.
Nominate a teacher here using our user-friendly form. The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, January 31, 2024, at 5 pm. To ensure a consistent process across all counties, the nomination form will close at 5:00, and unfortunately, we cannot accept any nominations after this hard deadline.
The 2024 County Teachers of the Year will be announced at a State House Hall of Flags ceremony on Thursday, May 9, 2024, and the 2025 Maine Teacher of the Year announcement is in the fall.
The Maine Teacher of the Year program is committed to a nomination and selection process that ensures people of all backgrounds are represented. Educate Maine and the Maine Department of Education champion that commitment by encouraging the nomination of educators from all culturally diverse experiences and backgrounds and striving to increase representation across counties, districts, grade levels, and content areas.
