The National Coalition for Public School Options has developed The American Pioneer of Teaching Award (APTA) to recognize outstanding teachers in charter schools and online schools who have changed students lives.
This award recognizes top teachers who are pioneers in the field. These teachers take their craft seriously, and engage in innovative ways to reach their students and make a difference in their lives. Their passion and dedication truly makes a difference. If you are or know a teacher that sparks a love of learning in students at a charter or online school, take 5 minutes to fill out a nomination form.
Award recipients will receive a physical award and will be recognized by the National Coalition for Public School Options board of directors.
Voting has officially closed and the winner will be announced Tuesday, May 8 at 12:00PM (EST) on on Facebook. In the meantime, liking the National Coalition for Public School Options on Facebook lets you learn more about the finalists and the positive comments made on the page about their dedication to teaching.
