Each of these teachers was nominated by their school and then submitted a packet for consideration. From there the 10 semi-finalists were selected and are in the process of being interviewed by the Teacher of the Year selection committee. The committee will determine who the finalists will be and they will be announced next week.
The 2018 Durham Public Schools Teacher of the Year will be named at the annual Teacher of the Year banquet on May 23 where all school-based Teachers of the Year, semifinalists and finalists will be honored. In addition, this year a Beginning Teacher of the Year has been added and one outstanding beginning teacher from each school level (elementary, middle and high) will be recognized.
