The Teacher of the Month series has been renewed for another 12 months, and we need nominations. The 12-month series is in partnership with Berkshire Community College. 
 
Throughout the first season, we met some of the outstanding teachers in Berkshire County who have influenced and inspired the next generation, and we know there are more. Submit a nomination for a teacher who deserves the spotlight here
 
"Teachers are an integral part of a community and often go underappreciated despite their impact," iBerkshires Publisher Osmin Alvarez said. "A good teacher not only teaches the curriculum to the students but does so in a way that inspires them to become part of a community and change it for the better."
 
Last year's honorees were teachers from various grades and schools, including Gabriel Abbott Memorial School, Mount Greylock Regional School, Berkshire Family YMCA and Mount Everett Regional School.
 
These educators influenced their program or school's culture by participating in or spearheading extracurricular activities or fundraising opportunities for local organizations. 
 
This year, we hope to see even more nominations for teachers, professors, paraprofessionals, and all the educators who have had a clear and lasting impact on their students, colleagues, and the community.
 
Thank you to everyone who sent in a nomination last year. Nominate a teacher here
