Twenty-five educators from Wicomico County Public Schools have been named semifinalists for Wicomico Teacher of the Year, and have begun the extensive judging process that will lead to the naming of the next Wicomico Teacher of the Year on April 12.
This year’s Wicomico Teacher of the Year Recognition Program kicked off Jan. 12 at Beaver Run Elementary with the announcement of 72 quarterfinalists from throughout Wicomico County Public Schools. The names of the semifinalists – one for each school and a semifinalist to represent Special Programs – were announced at the end of the evening.
Semifinalists participated in the scored Fishbowl public speaking event at James M. Bennett High Jan. 30, with judges from the school system and community. In February, the semifinalists will submit a writing prompt and will sit for an interview with a blue ribbon panel of judges. Scores from these three activities will determine who will become the next Wicomico Teacher of the Year.
The annual Wicomico Teacher of the Year Celebration, with more than 200 guests including dozens of outstanding teachers, school administrators, and other supporters from the school system, Board of Education and community, will be held at Venue 54 near Delmar, Md. on Wednesday, April 12. That night four finalists – the teachers with the four highest total scores – will be announced, and from among the four finalists the new Wicomico Teacher of the Year will be named.
