Every year Indiana selects a teacher of the year. Today Glenda Ritz, Indiana’s Superintendent, announced ten finalists for 2017 Indiana Teacher of the Year.

The Indiana Teacher of the Year award is over fifty years old and seeks to recognize “outstanding classroom teachers from across the state.”

The Indiana Teacher of the Year Selection Committee will choose the winner. The committee includes former award winners. The winner will then be eligible for the National Teacher of the Year Award.
