WEAKLEY COUNTY (February 19) — First selected by their peers, then acknowledged through a committee review, three Weakley County Teachers of the Year now advance to a regional level and possibly on to be named the state’s Teacher of the Year.
Lauren Campbell of Martin Primary, Tori Shepherd of Sharon School and Linda Farmer of Greenfield School were named as this year’s Teachers of the Year after already receiving the nod from the teachers with whom they work.
Applications for the regional Teacher of the Year are due Feb. 28. By the end of March, regional judges will have selected three (one for pre-K-4th, 5th-8th, 9th-12th) for each of Tennessee’s nine regions. Nine finalists will be named by the end of June with the top teacher tapped to be celebrated in a September event.
