Every year, the Charter School Awards give us a platform to highlight outstanding educators in Michigan's charter schools. We rely entirely on anonymous nominations from parents, fellow teachers, school leaders and community members to shed light on those who are going above and beyond. Thanks to the generous support from General Agency Company & EMC Insurance Companies, the top five Teacher of the Year and Admin of the Year finalists will each receive a $500 cash prize, and each will earn a platform to share their best practices throughout the year.
Nominations for the 2019 Charter School Awards will be open from Dec. 7, 2018 - Feb. 1, 2019. Anyone can submit an anonymous nomination during this period.
All nominated educators will get the opportunity to submit an application to outline their unique strategy in the classroom and in their school. The application period will be open between Feb. 6, 2019 and Feb. 25, 2019.
