Traditionally, one educator is recognized as teacher of the year. Today IDOE recognized all Indiana teachers as the 2021 Teach of the Year.

The Teacher of the Year program has recognized outstanding classroom teachers for over 60 years. 

The program’s mission is to "inspire, rejuvenate, and celebrate the teaching profession."
