Colorado Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6-10, 2024, and it is a perfect time to show teachers how much their dedication, creativity, kindness and hard work is appreciated. One great way to recognize your favorite educator is to nominate them to be the 2025 Colorado Teacher of the Year.
“Great educators are the heart of successful schools, and Teacher Appreciation Week is a time to celebrate and thank them for all they do,” said Education Commissioner Susana Córdova. “One way to recognize the special teachers you know is to nominate them for Colorado’s 2025 Teacher of Year and the opportunity to serve as the voice for all of Colorado’s dedicated educators."
Each year, the Colorado Teacher of the Year program honors an exceptionally dedicated, knowledgeable, and skilled K-12 classroom teacher to represent the entire profession in the state. The selected teacher will automatically become Colorado's nominee for the National Teacher of the Year competition.
