Inspire Federal Credit Union and Bucks County Intermediate Unit #22 are joining together for the third year in a row to honor an outstanding local teacher.
The Bucks County Teacher of the Year Award is given to one Bucks County teacher who “shows a superior commitment to teaching, [has] a great impact on students, the school and the community, and goes above and beyond the normal duties of being a teacher.”

All are encouraged to nominate a teacher who fits the bill. The winning teacher and the winning teacher’s school will earn $1,000 in prize money.
According to the award’s website, all teachers must be a current employee of a Bucks County school, a PA certified teacher or a teacher who has obtained a private academic school certification in a Bucks County public school or non-public school, teaching grades K-12, to be eligible. Teachers must also have direct contact with students in a classroom setting. Classroom teachers, subject teachers, certified teaching professionals or classroom instructors are welcome.
Those who wish to narrate a teacher are asked to fill out a short form online in addition to submitting a letter of reference and a nomination narrative, detailing in 700 words or less why the nominee deserves to be acclaimed as Bucks County Teacher of the Year.
