Let the Voting Begin! You Decide the 2012 American Pioneer of Teaching Award
State finalists have been decided, and now it is time to vote for a national winner for the 2012 American Pioneer of Teaching Award, sponsored by the National Coalition for Public School Options.
 
PublicSchoolOptions.org  received over 900 nominations for the award, which recognizes top performing elementary and secondary teachers who work in public schools of choice such as online and charter schools.
With so many fantastic teachers making a difference in students' lives coast-to-coast, it was difficult to narrow it down to just a few.
