Westfield Insurance Teacher of the Month recognizes teachers throughout the state of Ohio for their remarkable acts of selflessness and their willingness to serve their school and their community.

Each month, the Ohio News Network (ONN) will acknowledge one teacher in Ohio who has been nominated by a student, parent or other educator.  The teacher will receive a plaque from Westfield Insurance and ONN and a news vignette will be created about the teacher that will air on ONN.  The winner will be announced the third Monday of every month during the school year.

Nominate a teacher today!
