Teacher of the Month

The MassTEC Board of Directors voted unanimously to continue the monthly award program for this school year. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of individuals who were nominated last year.

We know this year presents its own set of challenges for you and your families as you transition back to in school learning. Each of you are trying your best for your students during this ongoing pandemic.

The MassTEC Board would like to recognize one or more technology/engineering teachers each month during this school year for the work he/she is doing to help his or her students learn during this school year.

You are encouraged to nominate yourself or someone you believe is doing a good job developing an activity and/or a lesson students complete either at home or in the classroom.

If you are selected you will receive a certificate recognizing you as teacher of the month and a letter will be sent to your Superintendent announcing your award. Also, the Board would like to share your activity and/or lesson, if possible, with other MassTEC members on our List Serve and website.

Please send nominations to the MassTEC President, Amanda Hough, before the tenth of the month. This will allow the Board to review the entries and select an individual for the coming month’s award. The email address for the president is; <presidentmasstec@gmail.com>
