What is the Teachers Who Rock Awards program?
We feel that excellent teachers are not receiving adequate recognition for their important contribution to society. The Teachers Who Rock program will recognize 24 outstanding teachers to receive this prestigious award. These teachers become lifetime members of the Teachers Who Rock Class.

Who is eligible?
Nominated teachers must be full -time classroom teachers at a public or non public school in North Jersey. For the 2008-2009 school year, teachers must spend the majority of their assignment time teaching students in grades Pre-K –3, Grades 4-8 and 9-12.
