Wyoming Teacher of the Year Program recognizes the contributions of the classroom teacher. The selection process takes one year; therefore, in February 2024, the process for selection of the 2025 Wyoming Teacher of the Year begins.
2025 Nomination Guidelines
The nominee must be a Wyoming-certified classroom teacher in a state-approved or accredited school, kindergarten through grade twelve, who plans to continue an active teaching career. The teacher must:
•inspire students of all backgrounds and abilities to learn;
•have the respect and admiration of students, parents, and colleagues;
•play an active and useful role in the community as well as in the school;
•be poised, articulate, and have the energy to withstand a busy schedule; and
•demonstrate high levels of academic achievement for his/her students.
Anyone may nominate a certified teacher.
Nominations will be reviewed by a selection committee made up of faculty, the superintendent, board members, and community members. After review of the nominations, each member of the committee shall have one vote, to be recorded through a secret ballot. In the event of a tie, the committee will vote again between the two nominees with the most votes.
All nominations are due to the Superintendent by April 16, 2024. Nomination forms can be obtained by contacting the front office of any school or the Administration Office at 307-764-6186.
