Outstanding Educator Award for Early Education Institutions
About the Award
Teaching is one of the most challenging, rewarding, and impactful jobs in the world. In fact, many consider it a calling. It demands broad knowledge of subject matter, and standards; enthusiasm, passion, and dedication; a love of learning; knowledge of positive behavior and early education institutions management techniques, and a desire to make a difference in the lives of children.
We know that passionate and dedicated educators make all the difference in the early education institutions. That’s why we created this award, to recognize excellence in the teaching and learning profession and shine a spotlight on outstanding role models who uplift their children and inspire other educators.
