We at WantToTeach.com visit thousands of public school district websites each year in search of "the best". We also receive many "blind" nominations as well from users to our site who take advantage of our nominating process. (See link below).

During the course of each year, we then bookmark what we consider to be the best of what the Internet has to offer in preparation for our December deadline day.

Thus, the websites that we ultimately recognize each year represent what we feel are the best public school websites that the Internet has to offer. It is possible for school and/or district website to receive this award more than once. That has already happened twice since we started giving these awards in 2003.

Our selection criteria is as follows:

1) Functionality - useful information and ease of access.

2) Design - a sharp design designating a sense of pride in one's school and/or district.

3) Imagination - a sense of imagination present in the site.

4) Timeliness - the site is maintained and current.
