Do you know or work with exceptional teachers or administrators? Nominate them for the 2011 Outstanding Young Educator Award! We’re accepting nominations for one more week—the deadline is August 1, 2010.
Effective teachers and education leaders are critical to raising student achievement, and today’s increasingly competitive and global economy underscores the need for well-qualified educators in every classroom, school, and administrative office. ASCD is awarding $10,000 to young professional teachers and administrators who
- Educate the whole child, helping to ensure each child is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.
- Demonstrate educational leadership in their classroom, school, district, and community.
- Show a positive impact on student achievement.
- Illustrate significant contributions to the education community.
All nominations must align with the Criteria for Consideration and eligibility requirements available at www.ascd.org/oyea.
Nominators of the winners will receive a complimentary one-year membership to ASCD. The OYEA winners will be honored at the 2011 ASCD Annual Conference in San Francisco, Calif., March 26–28, 2011. OYEA Winners and OYEA Honorees receive monetary awards and will also participate in a yearlong program of professional development and networking.
