Morty Schaap Journalism Teacher of the Year
The Morty Schaap Journalism Teacher of the Year was established to recognize outstanding FSPA advisers. At the fall workshops, the seven districts select an adviser to be the district’s nominee. Each teacher submits a portfolio and letters of recommendation. The overall winner is selected by the adult members of the executive board and by representatives of Florida college and university mass communications programs.
The award, named for Morty Schaap a former newspaper adviser and FSPA president, was first given in 1988.
The state winner becomes FSPA's nominee for the Dow Jones Newspaper Fund’s National Journalism Teacher of the Year Award.
