I was honored to be named as my school's teacher of the year. And, tonight was the banquet for our district, meaning I had the pleasure of going to a dinner, where the teachers of the year from each school in our district were treated to a dinner, and given our plaques. The PTO bought me my corsage (which was lovely and artsy) and I had a rare chance to get dressed up. It is very rare in my school for a "specialty" teacher to get this award, many do not see what we do as being on the same level with classroom teachers, so I was doubly pleased. I tried to follow the advice given me by a kindergarten student who said I had to behave myself, and use my manners when attending a party.
Congratulations on your award! I know exactly what you mean about "special teachers" rarely receiving recognition. I told my principal today that one of my students had won 3rd place and $750.00 in a poster contest for the local recycling center and she basically said, "Oh that's nice." Sigh............
