Teacher Innovator Awards

Do you know a teacher who has inspired others to challenge the limits of what’s possible? Who encourages others to create bold solutions?

We’re looking for teachers who demonstrate the habits of an innovator. Teachers who inspire their students to challenge the rules and take risks, who demonstrate how to be collaborative and empathetic, and teach the value of learning from staying curious and learning from failure.
