Summary:
|
The 2015-2016 California Teacher of the Year Program seeks teachers with exemplary personal growth, commitment, personal attitude, and professional skills. The California Teacher of the Year Program celebrates and pays special tribute to the tireless efforts of our state's outstanding teachers. In doing so, the program brings well-deserved recognition to the whole teaching profession.
The state program’s goals are to:
•identify and honor outstanding teachers throughout California within a structure of local, regional, and statewide recognition activities;
•select, for special commendation and responsibility, teachers who will effectively represent California teachers during the year, speaking for, energizing, and symbolizing the positive contributions of the teaching profession statewide;
•focus attention on the positive accomplishments of students and teachers throughout California; and
•emphasize maintaining and improving student achievement.
Within this context, the Mt. Diablo Unified School District sought nominations of outstanding educators from transitional kindergarten through grade 12 and adult education to be represent us as the MDUSD Teacher of the Year. Forty-nine teachers were nominated, some more than once! All nominees were offered the opportunity to a brief questionnaire as consideration for becoming a finalist - 32 did so. The questionnaires were scored by the members of the MDUSD Teacher of the Year Selection Committee. The top five scoring nominees were asked to join the committee for an interview and from there two teachers were selected to represent us in the County Teacher of the Year competition.

Lourdes Beleche, MDUSD 2014-2015 Teacher of the Year,
David Giordano, MDUSD 2014-2015 Teacher of the Year,
