The Missouri Regional Teacher of the Year award is part of the Missouri Teacher of the Year program, sponsored by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). The Missouri Teacher of the Year program recognizes the efforts of effective teachers in providing a quality education to their students. Preparing, developing, and supporting effective educators is one of DESE’s primary goals.
Ms. Flood is eligible to compete for the 2021-2022 Missouri Teacher of the Year. The selection committee-comprised of teachers, business leaders, and education organization leaders-will choose the Missouri Teacher of the Year following interviews with each finalist. The winner and the finalists will be honored at a banquet in Jefferson City in October. The new Missouri Teacher of the Year will serve as the state’s nominee for the National Teacher of the Year competition.
