Outstanding Student Teacher Awards

Each year WCTE selects two senior English education students to receive the Outstanding Student Teacher Award.  Winners will be honored with a certificate and a one-year membership in WCTE.  In 2011, award recipients will receive free registration at an upcoming WCTE event such as a state convention (including one night accommodation at the convention hotel if applicable), and formal recognition of the Outstanding Student Teacher Award at a convention session.

Individuals who student taught or were interns in the Fall 2010 or the Spring 2011 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:

• Two letters of recommendation: one from the cooperating teacher and one from the college supervisor.
• A cover letter with the student teacher’s name, email address, local mailing address, and telephone number.

Send nomination materials electronically, by May 1,  to:
