2 EM-R Members are Teacher of the Year Semi-finalists

The field of possible candidates for this year’s Minnesota Teacher of the Year honor has been narrowed to 40, and 2 of those 40 are members of EM-R! Congratulations to Jeff Davies, RAHS Industrial Technology teacher and Myriam Castro-Franco, Little Canada Elementary 3-4 teacher. A selection panel of 23 community leaders chose the semifinalists from an initial field of 168 candidates from across the state.

The panel will review the semifinalists’ portfolios again and review semifinalist video submissions in late March and will select about 10 finalists from among the group. The current Minnesota Teacher of the Year, Kelly D. Holstine, will announce her successor at a banquet May 5 at the Saint Paul RiverCentre in St. Paul.
