Teacher of the Year Nomination Form
Give students, families, and colleagues a clear way to nominate an outstanding teacher. Collect specific examples of their work and the difference it made so reviewers can understand the person behind the praise.
A teacher finds another way to explain a lesson until it clicks. They notice when a student stops participating and make time to check in. Those moments matter, but they don’t always reach the people choosing an award recipient. Typeform’s teacher of the year nomination form gives them a place to be recognized.
The nominator identifies the teacher, explains how they know them, and describes why their work deserves the award. Ask for a particular example and what changed because of it. A student might describe finding confidence in class, while a colleague might explain how the teacher helped improve a shared lesson.
Reviewers get nominations they can assess against the award criteria. Nominators get prompts that help them move beyond “they’re an amazing teacher.” The teacher’s contribution gets a fuller account, grounded in the experiences of people who have seen it firsthand.
A teacher of the year nomination form collects recommendations for an award recognizing exceptional teaching. It asks who is being nominated, why they deserve recognition, and what examples support the nomination. Schools and award committees use it to gather information for their selection process.
Some of a teacher’s most meaningful work happens outside formal observations. A dedicated form invites students, families, and colleagues to share those experiences. It also gives reviewers a consistent set of details to consider rather than letters that vary widely in focus and length.
Build the questions around your award criteria:
- Teacher’s name, school, and subject or grade
- Nominator’s name and contact details
- How the nominator knows the teacher
- Reasons for the nomination
- Specific examples of the teacher’s contribution
- The difference their work made
- Supporting materials, if accepted
- Separate permission to share nomination excerpts
State eligibility rules and the submission deadline before the form begins.
Ask questions people can answer from experience. “Describe a time this teacher helped you learn” gives a student a clearer starting point than “Explain their teaching excellence.” Keep the form manageable, explain what reviewers are looking for, and remind nominators to avoid sharing private information about other students.
Yes, if your award rules allow them to. Ask nominators to identify their relationship to the teacher, then tailor follow-up questions where useful. Keep the core criteria consistent while giving each person room to describe what they’ve observed. Explain whether multiple nominations are accepted and how they’ll be considered.
