These teachers have been selected by their school to represent them as their Teacher of the Year as well as serve on the Jefferson County Schools Superintendent's Teacher Advisory Council.

The Jefferson County Schools Superintendent’s Teacher Advisory Council exists to promote and support four core components of professionalism: advocacy, communication, leadership, and outreach.

The council offers a bridge between the Jefferson County Schools superintendent and JEFCOED teachers, providing a direct avenue of communication and a systematic way to leverage teacher leadership with the goal of improving student achievement throughout the district.
