Michigan Teacher of the Year Program

In 1999 the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) began sponsoring the Michigan Teacher of the Year in the Michigan EPFP as part of the annual teacher-in-residence experience. This MDE & EPFP partnership has proven to be a very positive addition for both the Michigan Teacher of the Year Program and the EPFP.
