Wildcats, The District Teacher of the Year nomination period is open NOW through February 6, 2026. This prestigious program recognizes teachers who make a meaningful difference in the lives of students, schools, and our community through their dedication, care, and impact.
Nominate an outstanding teacher through the DoDEA TOY website: https://www.dodea.edu/TOY
The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) Teacher of the Year (TOY) Program is designed to recognize and honor outstanding educators with more than three years of teaching experience at a DoDEA school who exemplify the qualities of professionalism and excellence in our teaching workforce.
The DoDEA TOY Program is modeled after the National Teacher of the Year (NTOY) Program, which is sponsored by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). This program provides an avenue for all STOYs to be nationally recognized and compete for the NTOY. The NTOY and all STOYs are presented at the White House. The DoDEA TOY travels to all NTOY activities and takes a semester-long sabbatical to design and implement a project of choice.
Any stakeholder may nominate a DoDEA teacher for this award. Nominees are highly encouraged to participate in the application process.
