What is the Teachers Who Rock Awards program?

We feel that excellent teachers are not receiving adequate recognition for their important contribution to society. The Teachers Who Rock program will recognize 24 outstanding teachers to receive this prestigious award. These teachers become lifetime members of the Teachers Who Rock Class. 

Who is eligible?

Nominated teachers must be full -time classroom teachers at a public or non public school in South Jersey. For the 2012-2013 school year, teachers must spend the majority of their assignment time teaching students in grades Pre-K –3, Grades 4-8 and 9-12.

How can a teacher be considered for a Teachers Who Rock award?

In order to be considered for a Teachers Who Rock Award, a teacher must first be nominated by a superintendent, principal, co-worker, or parent.  A teacher may not nominate himself or herself.  The Greater Media nominating committee will not accept nominations from students.  Nominations may be submitted on the WRAT website via mail or fax. The nomination period will be from November 19, 2012 through March 22, 2013.
