From more than 5,000 member coaches and
teachers across the country, Jay Rye was selected
as the Alabama Educator of the Year because of
his unwavering commitment to speech and debate
education. His passion for speech and debate has
enhanced the quality of education in Alabama and
beyond.
“Speech and debate changes lives,” said National
Speech & Debate Association Executive Director
J. Scott Wunn. “Jay Rye has provided outstanding
leadership in helping students improve their
communication skills, build confidence, and increase
critical thinking skills. All of these skills will better
prepare students for college, a career, and a successful
life after school.”
To be nominated for this prestigious award educators
must coach and teach speech and debate, have a
minimum of 5-years’ experience in the classroom,
demonstrate broad contributions to the field of
education, provide support and mentorship to
the speech and debate community, and model the
established NSDA Coach Code of Ethics.
Additionally, each State Educator of the Year award
winner will be considered for the 2017-2018 National
Educator of the Year Award. The national award
winner will be announced on National Speech and
Debate Education Day on March 2, 2018.
“We couldn’t be more proud to recognize the hard
working, passionate, and dedicated educators who do
so much for the speech and debate community, and
their students,” said Wunn. “Every day, they empower
young people to use their voice. They are making a
huge impact on the lives of others.”
