Oregon Excellence Awards in Teaching the English Language Arts

To recognize excellence in teaching, the Oregon Council of Teachers of English (OCTE) invites any Oregon school to nominate one outstanding English language arts educator for one of these prestigious annual awards. A strong equal opportunity organization, we welcome nominations from anyone at any level of education—elementary, middle, secondary, two-year college, four-year college or university—but nominations must be limited to one per school.

To be nominated, the educator must have taught at least five years in any Oregon school at any level. In the opinion of the nominator, the educator must have created a particularly noteworthy record in teaching the English language arts. The nominator—with or without the assistance of the candidate—should do the following:

To nominate, obtain the form in your preferred format:

OCTE sets an annual spring deadline for Nominations and invites all Oregon teachers to submit completed Nomination Forms and Paragraphs to the OCTE Executive Board for review and selection of annual Finalists. Please watch this site and the OCTE newsletter Chalkboard for those spring, 2008 deadlines.

After receiving nominations, the Council will call on experts to select finalists. Those teachers selected as finalists will be required to submit additional supporting evidence. Finalists and award winners will be recognized at the Fall OCTE conference.
