Get Schooled Launches 'Search For NYC's Most Inspiring Teacher'

'Search For NYC's Most Inspiring Teacher' Begins Today

Know a great teacher? Here's your chance to honor that teacher at the Apollo.

The Get Schooled Foundation, a nonprofit that aims to increase the city's high school graduation and college-going rates, launched its "Search For NYC's Most Inspiring Teachers" today.

The search invites students from all 5 boroughs, K-12, to nominate a teacher who "inspires students to come to school and achieve their personal best", according to the program's website.

"Students and parents have first- hand knowledge of great teaching, yet never have a chance to make their voices heard. Our goal is to encourage New York City students and parents to share stories of great teaching and honor those responsible for positively shaping future generations," Marie Groark, Executive Director of the Get Schooled Foundation, says in a press release,

The Foundation will choose 5 teacher nominees to be honored on stage at the Apollo Theater In New York on April 30th.

You can nominate your teacher here from April 13- April 22.
