Two weeks ago, the National Coalition for Public School Options (NCPSO) announced the American Pioneer of Teaching Award, which will recognize top performing elementary and secondary teachers who work in pioneering public schools, such as virtual, charter and magnet schools. 

Students, parents, fellow teachers, friends and family members can nominate a teacher using an online form located on the NCPSO website at: http://www.publicschooloptions.org/americanpioneer/.

Please go to the website and nominate a teacher today! Keep in mind, the award application must be submitted before the deadline on Wednesday, April 14 at 5 p.m. EDT. 

This award is a great opportunity to highlight teachers you know and show them you appreciate their commitment to education and our kids' success.   Click here to see last year's finalists!

Help spread the word.  Please share the entry information with family and friends, as well as anyone you think might be interested!
