CDE Talent Pool Recommendation Form Survey

We invite you to recommend distinguished classroom teachers and/or principals who have demonstrated all of the following:

• Exceptional educational talent, as evidenced by effective instructional practices and student learning results in the classroom and school;
• Exemplary educational accomplishments beyond the classroom that provide models of excellence for the profession;
• Individuals whose contributions to education are largely unheralded, yet worthy of the spotlight;
• At this time, we are especially looking to expand the pool of early- to mid-career secondary educators who offer strong long-range potential for professional and policy leadership; and
• Engaging and inspiring presence that motivates and impacts students, colleagues and the community.

Please complete a separate form for each individual including a one-page letter explaining how this person meets the criteria outlined in this letter, as well as the person’s resume. One hard copy and one electronic copy of the nomination will be due by 4 pm on April 17, 2015.
