Teacher of the Year Teachers of Promise  
Teacher Recognition
2005 - 2006 Teachers of Promise

During the 2002-2003 academic year, Professional Development initiated a recognition program for novice teachers. The department sought novice teachers (zero years experience) who were demonstrating "promising practice" in their classrooms.

Principals or Lead Mentor Teacher Contacts nominated a teacher from their campus. Any teacher in her/his first year of teaching who demonstrated an overall grasp of the components of good teaching was eligible. The criteria used in making the determination was pulled from the Professional Development and Appraisal System instrument and/or the Texas Beginning Educator Support System (TxBESS) framework.

Recognized teachers received a certificate from the Superintendent , Dr. Pat Forgione, a small monetary award for classroom supplies, and were recognized at a reception in their honor.

We are proud to announce the 2005-2006 AISD Teachers of Promise:
