The District began the Teacher of the Year selection process with an invitation to the community to nominate and recognize excellent teachers in the Alameda Unified School District. Nominees who decided to move onto the next phase of consideration submitted an application and letters of support to the Teacher of the Year Selection Committee.
The Committee reviewed the documentation and selected four finalists. The four finalists represent the rich talent and diverse skills and expertise of the teachers in AUSD. Each teacher was observed and interviewed by the Committee.
At the conclusion of the interviews, the Committee determined Alameda Unified’s Teacher of the Year, who will represent AUSD at the county level. The Committee proudly presents:
