The Instructor of the Calendar year finalists are:

Each Wake County college experienced a Instructor of the Calendar year picked by its faculty. District selection committees narrowed the industry to 20 semifinalists and eventually the 10 finalists.
Wake’s winner will acquire a prize package and go on to contend in the North Carolina Teacher of the 12 months levels of competition.
