Amazing teachers deserve more attention. That’s the idea behind the Fishman Prize for Superlative Classroom Practice,
a new award that honors extraordinary teachers with $25,000 and the
opportunity to share their expertise with educators nationwide. Offered
by The New Teacher Project, a nonprofit organization working to
ensure that more students learn from excellent teachers, the prize will
be given to up to five teachers each year. Any full-time teacher
working in a high-poverty public school, including charter schools, may
apply. The deadline for applications is Friday, February 3, 2012. Learn
