BALTIMORE, Aug. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — To mark its first full school year using a new and improved rating system, Rate My Teachers (RMT) honors teachers selected by their students as among the best.
Established in 2001, RMT is a review site used to rate K-12 and college teachers and courses. Its purpose is to help answer a single question: “what do I as a student need to know to maximize my chance of success in a given class?” As of April 2010, over 11 million teachers have been rated in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia.
Working with educational psychologists, teachers, and students themselves, at the beginning of the 2019 school year RMT relaunched with a fresh design and a new and improved survey. In addition, moderation procedures were upgraded to keep comments civil and relevant, while still providing space for students to share their experiences.
With a full year of refreshed ratings and comments and more coming daily, RMT decided to celebrate the milestone by recognizing the best rated teachers in each state or province. To be considered, a teacher must have an average overall rating above a 4.0, and to win, they must have the highest overall number of above average ratings.
Kevin Hollins, CEO of Rate My Teachers said, “The 2019 school year was a major milestone for Rate My Teachers. New privacy regulations and an international audience drove significant technology upgrades, but most important was the launch of an improved survey to provide students an enhanced view of what to expect when heading into a new class. We hope that recognizing the finest teachers will broaden awareness of the brand, and that the winners will take particular pride in having been chosen by their own students.”
A total of sixty-nine teachers have been honored in four countries:
