Teacher award

Teacher award

Teacher awards are given to teachers in recognition of their services to their profession and the students they teach. There are numerous countries and organisations that give out awards.

United States

The National Teacher of the Year program began in the United States in 1952 as a project by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The winning teacher is chosen by a selection committee from all the state schools around the country. They are then introduced to the American public in a ceremony, before being given a year away from classroom work in order to travel the country as a spokesperson for the profession.

The DisneyHand Teacher Awards are given out annually to a wide range of teachers, who receive US$10,000 and participate in the awards gala. [http://disney.go.com/disneyhand/learning/teacherawards/]

The Teaching Awards Trust give awards to teachers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in a variety of categories.
