We cannot forget the “T” in PTA! These are the people we normally trust to watch over and teach our children every school day. Arizona PTA rolled out our Teacher of the Month program in September 2015 and the program continues to honor special teachers from throughout our state. Classroom teachers as well as specialists/special area/individual subject teachers are eligible to be nominated. Nominated teachers must be a member of the school/location where they teach local PTA/PTSA when nominated. 

 

Each Arizona PTA local PTA/PTSA unit may send in one applicant submission (for 1 nominee only) per month for the Teacher of the Month program during the months of September through April. Submissions are due by the last day of each month. We hope your local unit PTA/PTSA unit will participate and send in a selected Teacher of Month nominee as often as possible. Teacher of the Month winners will receive a monetary award and a certificate from Arizona PTA.   If your Teacher of the Month nominee is chosen as a monthly winner, an Arizona PTA representative will contact the person submitting the application. Arizona PTA will use its social media platforms & newsletter to share Information regarding each Teacher of the Month winner.  

 

There will be a Teacher of the Year Award given out at the annual Arizona PTA Convention that will require a separate application.

We encourage local PTA/PTSA units to honor a teacher by submitting an Arizona PTA Teacher of the Year application when it becomes available.

Nominations are OPEN for '22-'23 awards!
