NOMINATE A TEACHER OF THE YEAR
   Since 1970, the Illinois State Board of Education has sponsored the Illinois Teacher of the Year program, recognizing the best of the teaching profession in Illinois. All public and nonpublic preK-12 educators in Illinois with more than five years of teaching experience are eligible.
   The top nominees from eight regions are designated as Regional Teachers of the Year; the Illinois Teacher of the Year is selected from that cohort. ISBE also recognizes Bilingual, Early Childhood, and Special Education Teachers of the Year. The Outstanding Early Career Educator award is presented to the top teacher in Illinois with one-four years of teaching experience.​​​​​​ The remaining nominees are awarded on two levels: Meritorious Service and Special Recognition. Nominations are due by Friday, April 23rd. To nominate someone, visit the ISBE website here.

​National Board Certification 2021-22
    ROE #40 is proud to announce we will be a cohort host for teachers and counselors pursuing National Board Certification during the 2021-2022 school year. This cohort will meet 12 times throughout the school year and is led by a trained National Board Certified Teacher who will guide teachers through the process at no cost. Teachers can earn 24 Professional Development clock hours as they complete their National Board components. The state offers a subsidy to pay for all fees associated with becoming a National Board Certified Teacher (there is a one-time $75 registration fee – this is the only cost an eligible teacher will incur). Apply for the subsidy from March 01, 2021 until May 10, 2021. Cohort support sessions begin statewide in September. 
    You can register to attend a live ZOOM webinar that will be held on Wednesday, March 03, at 7 p.m. to learn more about this Illinois State Board of Education program.   
    If you want to learn more about the National Board Certification process, here is a narrated presentation (turn your sound up – 15 minutes long):
