For the 2025-2026 school year, MCPS and MCEA would like to recognize as many of our exceptional teachers as possible. To do this, we have expanded the “Teacher of the Year” awards. Each school will nominate their own Teacher of the Year who will go on as a nominee for the MCPS Teacher of the Year award. MCPS Teacher of the Year nominees will be evaluated based on this rubric and then selected by a judging panel composed of MCPS and MCEA representatives.
The nomination and application period for the MCPS Teacher of the Year Award has closed.
Please check back for any updates or information on next steps in the MCPS Teacher of the Year Award process.
If you have any questions regarding the MCPS Teacher of the Year Award, you can reach out Mai Lien Le.
