California Teachers of the Year Videos

The purpose of the California Teachers of the Year (TOY) Program is to honor the teaching profession and to heighten interest in teaching as a career. The program affords the opportunity to bring attention to teachers who successfully employ strategies to increase academic success and narrow the achievement gap among a range of students. Many of California's TOYs have ultimately become National Teacher of the Year recipients or finalists.
