A Celebration of Excellent Teachers: Golden Apple Awards 2009
Tune in Thursday, October 8, 8:00 pm
Special Rebroadcast: Sunday, October 11, 5:30 pm
The Golden Apple Awards ceremony represents one of Chicago's premier black-tie events, attended by the city's education, civic and business leaders. Golden Apple will once again partner with WTTW Channel 11 to air the ceremony as a television special, which has received critical acclaim in the past years, including seven Emmy Awards from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
The Golden Apple Awards for Excellence in Teaching was the idea of Golden Apple founder Martin J. "Mike" Koldyke, who felt that excellent teachers were not receiving adequate recognition for their important contribution to society. Modeled after the Academy Awards, the Golden Apple Awards are broadcast each fall on WTTW11. Every year since 1986, Golden Apple has chosen 10 outstanding teachers to receive this prestigious award. These teachers become lifetime members of the Golden Apple Academy of Educators. Learn more about this year's winners here.
