| A couple of days ago, I was notified that my entry to the Disney Imagination Campus 50 Teachers Celebration Contest (There's a mouthful!) was accepted and I may be one of the recipients of the award. My entry to the contest was so long ago that I had completely forgotten about it, so this was an unanticipated surprise. I don't know how many teachers must have submitted proposals to be considered, but the contest was widely publicized, so there had to be thousands. |  |
| | According to the initial Disney Parks Blog post of September 13, 2021: In honor of the Walt Disney World Resort 50th anniversary celebration, and to recognize exceptional teachers who are passionate about using the tool of imagination in their classroom, we’re inviting 50 deserving teachers who reflect the creativity and imagination of Walt Disney to attend a one-of-a-kind teacher event. Because when you celebrate with us, nothing could be more magical! |
All entrants had to answer a simple essay question:
Describe an example where you’ve encouraged your students to use their imaginations to creatively solve problems, including your own creativity in presenting curriculum in a new and inspiring way[.]
Right now, I am considering the possibility of accepting should the offer be made, the awarding of which happens after the scheduled last day of school (unless we have to make up some days for weather or other reasons).
