The NC-AATF Teacher of the Year Award was established in 1993, under the leadership of Chapter President Sarah Johnson. The award recognizes chapter members who

o Demonstrate sound pedagogical skills;
o Demonstrate concern for students' needs and abilities;
o Show evidence of continuing professional growth through study or travel in countries where French is the official language;
o Attend professional meetings or participate in foreign-language workshops, retreats, or institutes;
o Show evidence of active contribution to foreign language education beyond the classroom, such as the promotion of foreign language programs, fostering articulation between levels, expansion of French offerings, or research and publication.

The NC-AATF Teacher of the Year Award is presented at the chapter's spring meeting. The recipient receives a plaque and is featured in the NC-AATF Bulletin, the National Bulletin, and in local newspapers. Past recipients of the NC-AATF Award include

o Dr. David Fein, UNC-Greensboro, 1995
