Ok...I just got a packet informing me that I was nominated for the Disney Teacher of the Year award. The interesting thing is that I was nomintated with my last name as Benedict at Allen school, but I can't think of anyone here who would have nominated me. So it must be someone who knows that I moved and my new name and all that jazz.
Its pretty awesome to be nominated (and I would love to know who nominated me!!!) I don't think I am going to apply, however, because I don't think I am ready yet. If I were to actually be a finalist, I would really want to feel like I have earned it, and I think I need more experience to be that teacher. One of the essay questions is (paraphrase) How do you teach creatively and still meet the demands of the required curriculum? And at this point, I don't think I do, because I am too busy trying to teach the curriculum.
In any case, I feel incredibly honored to have been nominated.
Did I mention that I would love to know who nominated me????
Thanks!
