Outstanding Student Teacher Awards

2007-2008

Nominations for this award are now closed.  Please consider nominating a student teacher next year.

Each year WCTE selects two senior English education students to receive the Outstanding Student Teacher Award.  Winners receive an expense-paid trip to the 2007 WCTE conference to be held in Madison, October 3.  They will be honored at a reception during the convention, where they will receive a certificate and a one-year membership in WCTE. 

Individuals who student taught or were interns in the Fall 2007 or the Spring 2008 semesters are eligible.  Each institution can nominate one candidate.  Nominees should have a strong commitment to teaching, show leadership in and out of the classroom, possess strong communication skills, maintain rapport with students, and develop effective professional relationships with colleagues.  Letters of recommendation should emphasize these criteria. 

Nomination materials should include the following:

Ø       Two letters of recommendation: one from the cooperating teacher and one from the college supervisor.

Ø       A cover letter with the student teacher's name, local mailing address, and telephone number.
