Selection as a Teacher of Promise is an honor. Participants are selected by their individual universities on a competitive basis and represent Virginia's most promising and gifted pre-service educators. These individuals exhibit a strong commitment to the teaching profession and exemplify the traits necessary for a truly exemplary career in public education. At the TOP Institute, each participant will be assigned a mentor who will work with them throughout the weekend and who will continue to serve as a source of advice, assistance and guidance to help them make a successful transition to the classroom. Students will have the opportunity to attend practical, quality workshops and have opportunities to meet with award-winning educators.
