 Every fall, the Texas State Teacher of the Year program honors an elementary and a secondary State Teacher of the Year, as well as Regional Teachers of the Year. The selected teachers then become spokespeople for educators, traveling throughout the state giving speeches and presentations while continuing their work in the classroom. A state finalist selection committee will also chose one teacher to be considered for national honors. The President announces the National Teacher of the Year in the spring during a ceremony in the Rose Garden.  Nominees in the state and national program are selected based on their performance both in and out of the classroom. Nominees should show a concern for students and the capability to inspire them. He or she should work cooperatively with colleagues and different groups in the community. Nominees should initiate activities that improve instruction for students and have implemented innovations in his or her classroom. The successful nominee should also stay informed about current educational theories and practices and make meaningful contributions to education.
