Teachers who demonstrate remarkable abilities as educators both inside and outside the classroom are recognized as nominees for the 2021 Teacher of the Year award.

A wide range of full-time educators in Broward County schools are eligible for the award, from classroom teachers to guidance counselors and vocational instructors.

Finalists for the 2021 Caliber Award include 18 teachers from Coral Springs schools, whose digitally recorded classroom presentations are being submitted through November 20 to Carolyn Stewart at the Office of Communications.
