What are your thoughts on Teacher of the Month awards or recognitions in schools? I don't have a strong opinion since we don't have them here, but some of my colleagues are interested in starting one. I’m just concerned it might turn into more of a popularity contest.

That’s all it is. It has nothing to do with how good a teacher is, just on who voted for the most popular friends.

Yes, my thoughts exactly.

I would not like to see this where I work. We are educated professionals doing an important job. Adding what boils down to a popularity contest to our schools makes us seem like insecure teens trying to be in with the popular crowd, not intelligent, hard-working, professional adults. I feel like we should be working towards regaining respect and appreciation for our profession, not playing popularity games. But that is just me. 🤷‍♀️

Exactly! My thoughts 100%. If it was based on staff voting it might be a bit easier to accept. Of course, it would still be a popularity thing.

I think that would be degrading. Everyone works so hard. I think It would be nice to give recognition to everyone who works hard and puts in the time.

Our county does a teacher of the year at High School, Middle School, and Elementary levels. It is voted on by nominations, but I don't know how the final vote is determined

I get your concern about it turning into a popularity contest. Maybe if it’s tied to specific accomplishments or peer nominations, it could feel more meaningful.

So true! We just had a completion at our school, the tracher who won is super popular among the students (they voted). Other teachers had done a much better job, but the popular teachers won.

I agree with the idea that our would probably be more about the popular teachers more than quality.
