2009 Michigan Art Teacher of the Year and Distinguished Service Awards Nominations:
Start Your Hybrid Engines!
It’s time to start thinking about nominations for the 2009 Michigan Art Teacher of the Year and Distinguished Service Awards Nominations. The Michigan Art Education Association’s Teacher of the Year Award recognizes educators in the respective areas of elementary, middle level, and high school visual arts for their dedication to preserving and expanding the artistic culture so essential to developing the creative capacities of today’s youth. Nominations for Michigan Art Teacher of the Year should be based on the following criteria:
• Dedication and Commitment to the Classroom, School District, and Community
• Membership and Contributions to Professional Arts Organizations
• Commitment to furthering Personal and Professional Growth within the Visual Arts
• Honors and Awards received through commitment to the Visual Arts
• Publications, Grants funded, and Conference/Workshop Presentations
The Distinguished Service Award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated a lifelong commitment to arts advocacy and furthering the artistic educational experience. Nominees for Distinguished Service must have a minimum of two additional letters of support from individuals within the education community. Recipients of the Distinguished Service Award will be determined upon a thorough review of credentials by the MAEA Executive Board.
We rely on individuals like you to recognize the selfless efforts of those art educators who continually go above and beyond the daily challenges of classroom instruction to foster and expand the creative capacities of our nation’s youth! We look forward to working with you to ascertain the Michigan Art Education Association’s mission to promote quality arts education through leadership, service, and professional development is realized.
The deadline for nominations is April 30, 2009 and nomination forms can be found on the MAEA website at www.miarted.org under the Forms tab. All inquires should be addressed to the MAEA Awards Co-Chairpersons: Debra Graham, GRAHDE01@southredford.net or Diana Baldensperger baldy9@comcast.net.

Resolution passed by the membership of the Michigan Art Education Association
February 20, 2006
"The Michigan Art Education Association represents more than 1200 art teachers, their schools and students statewide. The organization acknowledges the importance of a rigorous and balanced curriculum that includes the arts. The Michigan Merit Core Curriculum is a step toward a balanced education through its inclusion of no less than one credit of visual and performing arts for High School Graduation. In addition, we encourage alignment with the Goals 2000: Educate America Act. This federal mandate recognizes the arts as a core subject, equal in importance to Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Health, Physical Education, and World Languages."
