State Superintendent of Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister will announce the 2017 Oklahoma Teacher of the Year at a ceremony at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Aug. 30. The honored teacher will succeed 2016 Oklahoma Teacher of the Year Shawn Sheehan, who was one of four finalists for National Teacher of the Year.
The 12 finalists for 2017 Oklahoma Teacher of the Year were announced July 25. All finalists are teachers of the year for their districts and were selected after their application packets were reviewed by a panel that included educators, members of the business community, legislators and nonprofit partners. A separate panel selected the Oklahoma Teacher of the Year after a day of extensive interviews with the candidates.
