The 32nd
Annual Carroll County Outstanding Teacher Awards To Be Broadcast on March 24,
2021

March 18, 2021—The Carroll County Outstanding Teacher
Awards, a program sponsored by the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce, will be broadcast
on March 24, 2021 at 6 p.m. The teachers are full-time employees of the Carroll
County Public School System.

The event will be pre-recorded this year at the studio of
the Community Media Center in Westminster. On March 24, the broadcast will be
streamed on the CMC YouTube and Facebook sites, and will be broadcast on cable
channels 19 and 1086. In previous years, the event was held in person.

Selection of the Chamber’s Outstanding Teacher Awards
follows a process of selecting eight teachers from a pool of several hundred
for recognition.

First, teachers who work full-time for Carroll County Public
Schools can be nominated by a parent, student, or school administrator. Teachers
who wish to participate submit a biographical form, as well as an answer to an
essay question.

This year, 722 teachers who were nominated will receive
certificates of excellence for their nominations.

From that group of 722, eight teachers will be selected for
the Chamber’s Carroll County Outstanding Teacher Awards. Teams of judges,
including retired teachers and Chamber members, review the biographical
information and essay questions that were submitted by the teachers.

The eight teachers selected for the award receive plaques
and cash prizes. This group of awardees then becomes eligible for the Carroll
County Teacher of the Year. The process for that selection includes an
interview with a panel of judges, to include a series of questions and a
written packet with several essays. The final Teacher of the Year selection
follows the guidelines of the MARYLAND Teacher of the Year program.

On March 24, the eight awardees will be announced during the
CMC broadcast. In addition, the Chamber also awards three scholarships for
teacher continuing education, which are announced on March 24, as well.

Mike McMullin, president and CEO of the Chamber, said,
“Teachers have a tough job with little thanks in a normal year. 2020 was
anything but a normal year, and it’s only fitting to recognize them for their
outstanding effort during the pandemic.”

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Steven Lockard said, “We are
very proud of our long-standing partnership with the Carroll County Chamber of
Commerce, especially when it comes to the annual outstanding teacher awards. It
is always a pleasure for us to honor our teachers for their dedication and
commitment to our students. This awards program is an excellent opportunity for
us to acknowledge the teachers who go above and beyond, and make a positive
difference in the lives of students.”
