You’ve completed all of your end-of-the-year tasks and you’re ready to start your summer break, but there’s one more thing to do . . . . Nominate a fellow art teacher for an award!
Do you know an outstanding art teacher who is making a difference in their school and in their students’ lives? I bet you know a few of them.
Each year, the Tennessee Art Education Association has the great pleasure of recognizing outstanding art educators from across the state, in a variety of categories. These amazing teachers exemplify the qualities and standards of what it means to be a great art educator, going above-and-beyond for their students.
However, to receive one of these well-deserved awards, they must be nominated, and that’s where you come in! These outstanding teachers need YOU to nominate them so that TAEA can give them the recognition that they deserve.
Please consider nominating one or more of your peers, mentors, or mentees by sending in your nominations by July 10, 2017 to TAEA Awards Chair – Kathy Dumlao, kathy.dumlao@brooksmuseum.org.
To nominate a great art educator for an award, please submit:
1) A nomination letter, explaining why this person is a good candidate for an award. Please keep in mind that this letter and the accompanying nomination form are what we use to write a description of your nominee. So please be sure to include as much detail as possible so that the write-up can properly reflect how terrific your nominee is!
2) The NAEA Nomination Form and Vita for the nominee.*

The Vita form is where you list all the amazing things that this teacher has done.
You can ask your nominee to send you their resume, or you can ask them to fill out this
part on their own.
3) A digital photo of the nominee
A high-resolution jpeg is preferred because if your nominee wins, we’ll use this photo in the
awards program booklet.
*Nominees must be a member of TAEA.
