Question Title

* 19. We have many nominees, so it's important that you make a convincing case why yours should be chosen. Nominations are scored by teachers who are Fellows of The Academy. Our general criteria are passion for the the topic of the day, creativity in the classroom, and devotion to students. Nominations that simply say the teacher is "passionate" and "creative" are usually unsuccessful. Please give specific examples of his or her teaching and/or interest in the topic (in this case, the sun and stars.) Fellows nominating themselves should not be modest.

Question Title

* 21. Would you recommend that your nominee be asked to make a brief presentation of a favorite lesson to the other teachers? (Again, please be honest. A "yes" is not required.)

Question Title

* 22. Anything else we should know?
