The semifinalists will go through a selection process that includes a school visit, a professional portfolio review and an oral presentation before the field is narrowed to three finalists. The 2012 Teacher of the Year will be announced at a surprise school assembly in September.
The program is coordinated by the Education Department and underwritten by Hannaford Supermarkets. Bangor Savings Bank will reimburse the winner’s district for the cost of substitutes while the winner is out of the classroom for official duties.
