Minnesota Teacher of the Year

Congratulations to the newly announced 28 semifinalists for the 2008 Minnesota Teacher of the Year honor!

Personally, it was a treat to be able to get a chance to learn about so many wonderful teachers in Minnesota during the first stage of the process. I’ve mentioned this in speeches, but seeing so many fine candidates for the award makes me wish there were a way to cut the distinction up and share it over all the deserving teachers in the state.

A full list of the semifinalists for the 2008 Minnesota Teacher of the Year honor and more details on the award are available on the Education Minnesota website.
