Seeking the 2012 Alumni
Teacher of the Year
It’s that time again – to nominate an extraordinary Manchester graduate who is doing extraordinary things in the classroom.
“Each year, Manchester College has the difficult challenge of choosing just one outstanding Teacher of the Year,” says Heather Schilling '90, chair of the Department of Education. The task is understandable: Manchester was the springboard for more than 5,500 educators – almost a third of the College’s graduates.
The 2012 Warren K. and Helen J. Garner Alumni Teacher of the Year is currently teaching (preschool -12) and
- has made significant contributions to education
- provides exceptional service to the profession
- is deeply concerned for the individual students
- is able to inspire learning
At 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 3, senior teacher candidates will join their professors and mentors in a celebration of education. They’ll applaud those who will gain licensing after graduation and hear from an expert: the 2012 Alumni Teacher of the Year!
