Invite Your Favorite Teacher to Win a Free Vacation
After weeks – or, indeed, several days – of watching their kids’ online classes begin in the spring, many parents have found a new level of appreciation for their teachers. Running a student (literal or virtual) room is a grueling, usually thankless job at the best of times. But it turns out that learning during a pandemic can further exacerbate already strenuous work.
Whether teachers are putting their health at risk by having to teach in person this fall, or spending countless unpaid hours loading up all the lessons, materials, and distance learning assignments, they definitely need – and very much deserve – a break. To make this easier (for at least one teacher), Trafalgar travel company offers free teacher and plus-one vacations. Here’s how to choose your favorite teacher.
Competition details
The winner of Trafalgar’s Teachers Open the World competition will receive up to $ 5,000 (or $ 2,500 per person) travel for two to a destination of their choice (or $ 2,500 per person), as well as a $ 1,500 flight credit. The winning teacher can travel any time until December 31, 2021.
How to assign a teacher
The nomination process is simple and involves filling out this form , which states the name of the instructor you want to nominate and why. And don’t rush into the last part – this is what determines which teacher will be chosen. On the Trafalgar website :
The winner will be selected based on the nomination’s ability to showcase an interesting story and how much this teacher stands out from others. The selection of the winner will be made by independent judges who have selected the best works.
Nominations are open now but close at 11:59 pm PT on October 31, 2020. After that, all nominations will be considered on November 6, and the winner will be announced by November 16. It is also worth noting that there is only one nomination allowed per person and multiple entries will be disqualified.
Even if your designated teacher is not selected, they will receive a $ 100 discount on selected 2021 trips with Trafalgar, which they can exchange before March 31, 2021 for a trip that takes place until December 31, 2021.
