For the ninth year in a row, the National Liberty Museum and State Farm are teaming up to honor teachers who stand up for students’ rights, honor student voices and advocate on behalf of troubled learners while providing them with frequent enrichment opportunities, as well as promote teen driver safety.
Students, fellow faculty members and community members are asked to nominate outstanding educators who inspire, motivate and educate. This year people are encouraged to share stories of a teacher who has demonstrated excellence in teaching teen driver safety or auto safety initiative along with their nominations.
The deadline to submit nominations is Feb. 28. Winners will receive their honors at the annual “Teacher as Hero” award ceremony held at the National Liberty Museum, 321 Chestnut st., on April 30.
The winning teacher’s stories will be featured in a museum exhibit, and they will receive gifts made just for educators.
If you know of a teacher who fosters an appreciation for classroom diversity, teaches students to resolve conflicts respectfully, takes risks on behalf of students rights and education and teaches the relationship between rights and responsibility, visit libertymuseum.org/teacher-as-hero-nominations.
