The CLMS "Educator of the Year" award is given annual to 11 educators, representing regions throughout California, who exemplify educational excellence and have made significant efforts to implement elements of educational reform in the middle school. Up to 10 finalists from each region will be honored locally. The one nominee selected to represent each region will subsequently be honored at the CLMS Annual Conference (North), February 25-27, 2011 in Sacramento. One of these nominees will be announced as CLMS Middle Level Educator of the Year at the conference. Nominees may be teachers, administrators, counselors, or other certificated personnel.
