Three Northland Teachers Named as Semi-Finalists for MN Teacher of the year
Three Northland teachers have been named semi-finalists for Minnesota Teacher of the Year.
A panel narrowed down the field from 115 to 34 candidates.
Two teachers from Duluth, Michael Emerson and Joseph Schingen, are still in the running, along with Jill Hansen, a teacher at Hermantown Middle School.
The 23-person panel will review the semi-finalists’ portfolios again in late March and will choose 10 finalists.
The 2016 Minnesota Teacher of the Year will be announced on Sunday, May 15, at the Radisson Blu Mall of America in Bloomington.
