Distinguished Secondary Educators
| To: | Superintendents, Principals, Teachers and Other Interested Parties |
| From: | Mitchell D. Chester, Ed.D.
Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education |
| Date: | April 23, 2009 |
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education would like to identify distinguished secondary (6-12) teachers and principals throughout the Commonwealth. These educators may be considered for advisory boards, task forces, and special recognition programs.
We are very fortunate to have a rich base of veteran educators represented in our current talent pool who have been, and continue to be, a valuable resource. What is particularly lacking at this time is representation from educators relatively new to the profession who demonstrate superior instructional and leadership ability. Such educators exhibit an inspiring presence that has a profound impact on students, colleagues, and the community.
We ask that you recommend one to three educators who have not received major recognition beyond their school or district. Because we are looking for educators who will continue to serve the professions in the future, please only consider educators with five to 18 years experience in education.
Please provide CONFIDENTIAL, specific information about your candidate(s) on the enclosed three-page form   . Please include a one-page letter in addition specifying how the candidate meets the criteria mentioned in this memo. Completed forms must be sent by Friday, May 15, 2009, to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, Attn. Deborah Walker, 75 Pleasant Street, Malden, MA 02148.
If you prefer, you can fax 781-338-3395, Attn. Deborah Walker, or email djwalker@doe.mass.edu.
