“Pass the Book”
The current State Teacher of the Year will keep an informal journal of their year as State Teacher of the Year. They will provide any details that would be helpful to the next State Teacher of the Year such as speaking invitations, length of speech, writing samples, experiences, appropriate dress for different occasions, list of gifts, addresses for thank you notes, etc. This book will be presented to the next State Teacher of the Year at the Teacher of the Year Banquet in October. The book will be added to each year and will be passed on.
