What are the NEA Foundation Awards for Teaching Excellence? Presented jointly by the NEA Foundation and the NEA, these annual awards recognize, reward, and promote excellence in teaching and advocacy for the profession. They also honor public education and the dedicated members of the NEA. This year's nominations are now closed. Check back for information on the 2009 awards.
Selection criteria include:
• instructional expertise, creativity, and innovation
• Acknowledgement of individual student needs, learning styles, and experiences
• Advocacy for the profession, public education, and students
• Diversity sensitivity support
• Exemplary leadership
• Involvement of parents and community members in the classroom
• Lifelong learning
Nominees all receive the I CAN Learn Awards for Teaching Excellence which fund travel to the Foundation's gala. Five finalists receive The Horace Mann Awards for Teaching Excellence and $10,000. The national recipient of the NEA Member Benefits Award for Teaching Excellence, selected from the finalists and announced at the gala, receives an additional $25,000 and a commemorative gift.
Outstanding Postsecondary Member Award
In an effort to recognize and honor outstanding postsecondary members within AEA and to publicize the achievements of postsecondary members, the AEA Postsecondary Division Executive Committee has created the Outstanding Postsecondary Member Award.
The award will be presented at the annual Postsecondary Representative Assembly. The recipient will be given a plaque and be nominated for the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) James Davenport Memorial Award which is presented at the regular NCHE annual meeting.
To be eligible for the award, the nominee must have engaged in activities relating to one or more of the following:
Provided leadership for higher education
Promoted, designed and coordinated programs which enhance the relationship between higher education and the community (K-12, business, international, etc.)
Worked to improve relations and understanding among higher education groups (other faculty and staff organizations, NCAA, etc.)
Developed and promoted legislation that affects higher education.
Nominations must include a completed nomination form, a statement outlining in some detail the accomplishments as related to the criteria as well as any supporting documentation which would be helpful to the Awards Committee when selecting the winner.
For more information, contact Terri Walker at AEA, 1-800-392-5839, 334-834-9790, or by email at terriw@alaedu.org.
This award is given to one nominee and emphasizes the contributions of support professionals in promoting public education. The winner of the Shining Star Award will automatically be Alabama’s nominee for the National ESP of the Year.
