Candidates from the pool may be considered for membership on advisory boards
and task forces such as the Advisory Board on Teacher Education and Licensure;
the State Special Education Advisory Committee; the Virginia Advisory Committee
for the Education of the Gifted; and, the Task Force to Restructure School Leadership
Programs in Virginia. In addition, candidates may be considered for special
recognition programs such as the Presidential Awards for Excellence in
Mathematics and Science Teaching and the Milken Educator Awards program.
For 2005,
please submit recommendations for at least two secondary (grades 6-12)
classroom teachers and one secondary administrator (principal or assistant
principal) from your division who exhibit strong potential for professional
leadership and who have a positive impact on students, colleagues, and the
community. The two classroom teachers recommended should be in their early to
mid‑careers with no more than 18 years of service. Principals recommended
