Denizen of the Latinteach list, Ginny Lindzey has been nominated (congrats!) for a Disney Teaching Award:

Ginny Lindzey, who teaches Latin at Porter Middle School, has been nominated for the 2006 Disney Teacher of the Year Award in recognition of her creativity and success in bringing a dormant language to life in her classroom.

Four honorees will be announced as outstanding teachers in late spring and honored at a red-carpet awards ceremony in July. At the ceremony, one teacher will be named 2006 Disney Teacher of the Year.

All four honorees will receive $10,000, a $5,000 grant for their schools and a six-day retreat with their principals at the Walt Disney World Resort, where teachers will share and refine their teaching approaches and work to build a collaborative teaching culture at their schools.

The Disney Teacher Awards have been presented annually since 1989.
