On May 18, we'll announce the top 4 winners on Instagram and celebrate the educators who made the biggest impact.
Need a few tips?
Film vertically, find a well-lit spot, and keep it under 30 seconds. The best videos are authentic, so speak from the heart and tell us what makes your teacher special.
