Outstanding Educator Award--Apply today!

California Teacher Corps Annual
Michael McKibbin Outstanding Educator Award
Your Opportunity to Honor an Excellent Teacher!

The California Teacher Corps is proud to announce the second annual Michael McKibbin Outstanding Educator Award. This award is designed to honor an outstanding educator in California who has completed or is currently enrolled in an Alternative Certification credentialing route.

Michael McKibbin, a retired administrator from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, has been instrumental in establishing and supporting alternative route programs in California. He has been a strong advocate for the selection of the right teacher for students in California and the California Teacher Corps Michael McKibbin Award recognizes and honors his lifetime work.


Application Process

Intern Program Directors throughout California utilize the California Teacher Corps Storytelling Guide (attached) to submit nominations.

Completed applications should be submitted electronically to the California Teacher Corps board@cateachercorps.org or in person at the statewide CCTC regional meetings no later than November 29, 2011.

Successful candidates will have attributes that align with the California Teacher Corps Vision, Mission, and Goals including but not limited to the following:
Exemplary educator who has made a positive, powerful impact on his/her classroom or school, including leadership roles

Second-career professional whose previous career will resonate with the general public

Highly-qualified and expert in his/her subject matter

Working in a high-need school, location, subject area or underserved communities.

The award winner is expected to attend the California Teacher Corps annual conference (February 9-10, 2012) in Napa Valley. It is expected that the Intern Program pay for conference and travel costs for the Intern. The nominating Director should submit a brief cover letter stating that, using program or regional funds, he/she is willing to pay for the Intern's travel and conference expenses.
