About the Award
The New York Times has long recognized the challenges faced
by immigrants to the United States, and supports efforts to help
immigrants build new lives in this country. Essential to the
success of any immigrant is the ability to speak and write English.
For that reason, The Times created the annual ESOL
Teacher of the Year Award, for one outstanding teacher of English
for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) in New York City.
The purpose of this award is to recognize
one teacher in New York City whose commitment to his or her
students is demonstrated by consistently going “above and beyond” the
call of duty to help students learn English and develop the
skills needed to create successful new lives in the United
States.
From The City University of New York to The New York Public
Library, teachers of English for Speakers of Other Languages
are making their mark, nurturing dreams as they help immigrants
build new lives in this country.
Any ESOL teacher of adult-learners working in one of the following counties: Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Queens,
Staten Island, Westchester and Nassau. Teachers who teach outside those areas are not eligible. Nominations will be accepted from ESOL students, teaching colleagues and administrators.
Deadline for nominations was February 11, 2011.
When making a nomination, please consider the following criteria:
- Effectiveness of the nominee in teaching English to his or her students
- Innovation and teaching method that the nominee brings to the classroom
- Impact the nominee has had on the lives of his or her students

The winner will be announced in March 2011 and honored at a special award ceremony in April. The winner will receive $2,500.
