- The finalists selected by the In-State Selection Committees are evaluated by two Out-of-State Selection Committees (one for elementary teachers and one for secondary) to determine which candidates will be inducted into the Hall each year.
- The Out-of-State Committees consist of four classroom teachers, two school administrators, and a representative business/professional person. Generally, the teachers and administrators on these committees have won awards for their contributions to education in other states.
- The evaluation process followed by the Out-of-State Selection Committees is the same as for the In-State Committees, using the same Evaluation Form. The highest total score and the lowest are dropped for each candidate, and the averages of the middle five scores determine which of the finalists will be inducted.
- Generally, the five or six teachers with the highest average scores from the Out-of-State Committees are inducted into the Hall of Master Teachers each year.
- Any teacher selected for induction must receive at least 85 per cent of the total points possible from the Out-of-State Committee.
