  Big Apple Awards-Nominate your Favorite

  Big-Apple-Awards-Nomination-Form

  
  Do you know a great teacher?

  Then get ready, because the seventh annual Big Apple Awards are here!

  The Big Apple Awards is New York City’s teacher recognition program that honors and celebrates educators who go above and beyond for their students and school communities. Since 2013, 88 teachers have received a Big Apple Award, including 17 last year.

  Nominating a teacher for the Big Apple Awards is a great way for students, families, teachers, administrators, school staff, and community members to show their appreciation for the great work happening in City classrooms. Please help us recognize and celebrate some of our City’s best teachers by nominating your favorite teachers by Monday, November 26.

  To qualify, nominees must be current, full-time public school teachers in City district schools, charter programs, or early childhood education centers who inspire their students, exemplify great teaching, and improve their school communities.

  In addition, for the first time ever, we will be honoring school counselors with the Big Apple College and Career Counselor Award. This new award will recognize counselors who:

  • have made significant strides in advancing postsecondary readiness;
  • provided exemplary college and career supports and services at their school; and
  • demonstrated success on critical postsecondary metrics.

  Once this year’s cohort of Big Apple Award recipients are selected and identified in spring 2019, they will each be given the opportunity to participate in the Big Apple Fellowship and represent teachers citywide during monthly meetings as members of the Chancellor’s Teacher Advisory Group during the 2019–20 school year.

  To learn more the awards, visit the Big Apple Awards webpage, and check out The Morning Bell’s post regarding last year’s 17 recipients. If you have questions, please email us at TeacherExcellence@schools.nyc.gov.

  Remember: this year’s nominations must be submitted by November 26, 2018. So if you have a teacher in mind that you would like considered for a Big Apple Award, submit your nomination TODAY!

• Guidance for Outdoor Play in Cold Weather

  Guidance for Outdoor Play in Cold Weather                                                                                        

   All schools    

   Health

   Children benefit from vigorous exercise and should be given the opportunity to play outside whenever possible. Unless it is snowing, or there is ice on the playground, or the wind chill factor produces an effective temperature below zero degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius), temperature alone should not be a barrier to outdoor play. You are encouraged to work with your staff to maintain outdoor play periods, and you should take precautions to keep students warm and to ensure that they are appropriately dressed on very cold days. When outdoors, please ensure that your students and staff cover exposed skin, wear warm clothing, and use multiple layers to maintain warmth.

  If student does not choose to play outdoors on colder days, they are permitted to remain indoors.
