Nominations sought for NY history teacher of the year
The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History is seeking nominations for the annual New York History Teacher of the Year Award.
The award began in 2004 and is designed to promote and celebrate the teaching of American History in classrooms. One teacher is honored from each state and U.S. territory. This year will honor kindergarten through sixth grade teachers.
Selection is based on several criteria: experience in teaching American history for at least three years, a deep career commitment to teaching American history, evidence of creativity and imagination in the classroom and close attention to documents, artifacts, historic sites and other primary materials of history.
Each state winner will receive a $1,000 honorarium and will be in the running for the National History Teacher of the Year award.
Deadline for nominations is May 1, 2007. For more information, visit www.gilderlehrman.org.
