http://tinyurl.com/KCI-MERITIt is the MERIT Program goal that any teacher from your school who participates in MERIT will be confident and empowered to share their MERIT experience with other members of your school community. That's the power of multiplication through inspired teachers.
Your answers to the questions in this form are a REQUIRED component of every application. The applicant's application will NOT be considered without your completed recommendation form. The due date is:
Monday, January 19, 11:59pm (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, midnight).
Your answers are confidential, I am the only one who reads them; please offer your honest appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of the applicant. Your reflections on the applicant help us build teams from the same school site and create the best possible cohort of teachers.
If there is more than one applicant from your school, you will need to submit this form for each applicant.
NOTE: Be aware there is no guaranteed way to save a partially completed Google form; we advise preparing answers to all questions in a word processing application in advance of filling out the application form. You can download a PDF of this form at:

If you have questions about the MERIT program or the application process, please contact me. If this idea of MERIT intrigues you and you're wondering how to get more of your teachers involved, then you may be interested in bringing a mini-MERIT (5-day) program to your school site. Ask me how.
