The September deadline for nominations for the 2027‑28 Michigan Teacher of the Year will be here soon. The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) invites parents and/or guardians, colleagues, and community members to recognize exceptional educators from across our state. Ten Regional Teachers of the Year will be selected, with one ultimately named Michigan Teacher of the Year.
Eligible nominees must hold a valid Michigan teaching certificate, have at least five years of teaching experience in Michigan at the time of application, and be in good standing with their school or district.
Nominations must be submitted using the online form by Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Districts and intermediate school districts with their own processes for awarding local teachers of the year are welcome to nominate their winners directly by emailing MTOY@Michigan.gov.
