Nominate a special teacher!

Is there a really remarkable teacher at your child's school who deserves to be recognized?

It's that time of year when the Toronto Star and parentcentral.ca start to take your nominations for a Toronto Star Teacher Award.

Now's your chance to enter a certified Ontario elementary or secondary teacher that you think went that extra mile during the September 2009 to June 2010 school year.

Fill out this online entry form with the pertinent details plus 200-500 words about his or her qualities and teaching characteristics, plus specific examples of the teacher's efforts, dedication, mentorship or the difference made to your life or the lives of others.
