Outstanding Student Teacher Awards

2008-2009
 

Each year WCTE selects two senior English education students to receive the Outstanding Student Teacher Award.  Winners will be honored at the 2009 WCTE convention to be held in Milwaukee, October 23, where they will receive a certificate and a one-year membership in WCTE.  Award recipients receive free registration at the WCTE convention, one night accommodation in Milwaukee, and formal recognition of the Outstanding Student Teacher Award at a convention session

Individuals who student taught or were interns in the Fall 2008 or the Spring 2009 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.
