ICYMI – Announcing the 2020 Team Duval Teachers of the Year

Sept. 20, 2019 – Congratulations to the 179 outstanding educators who have been nominated as their schools, Teacher of the Year, putting them in the running for the 2020 Florida Blue Duval County Teacher of the Year.

The Jacksonville Public Education Fund (JPEF) facilitates the Teacher of the Year awards in Duval County, and has developed a yearlong program to celebrate, elevate and empower Duval County’s top teachers from traditional and public charter schools.

The cornerstone is the EDDY Awards, an elegant gala to celebrate all the teachers of the year and announce the Florida Blue Duval County Teacher of the Year. This school year, the EDDY Awards are on January 17, 2020.

“We invest in quality teachers because we know they make a huge difference in the education of our students,” said Rachael Tutwiler Fortune, JPEF President. “We know from our surveys of past Teachers of the Year that the EDDYs Experience makes them feel celebrated and appreciated, increasing the likelihood these top teachers will stay in the classroom doing great work for our children and young people.”

School-level Teachers of the Year will be eligible to apply for the county-wide honor of Florida Blue Duval County Teacher of the Year. The winner of the Duval County title will go on to compete for the state-wide Florida Teacher of the Year.
