Teachers of the Year for State Board Districts


2020 Ohio Teacher of the Year Logo

Since its inception in 1964, the Ohio Teacher of the Year program annually identifies exceptional teachers statewide celebrating their effective work in and outside the classroom. Nominations come from public traditional and community school administrators, students, parents, peers and community members. Following an in-depth nomination process, 11 State Board of Education districts selected regional 2020 Teachers of the Year. A panel of education and community stakeholders will select state finalists to interview from the pool of State Board district honorees to finally select the 2020 Ohio Teacher of the Year.
