Nominate an Outstanding Young Educator
Do you know a dedicated young educator? Through ASCD's Outstanding Young Educator Award (OYEA) program, the association recognizes professionals who are 40 or younger and make a positive difference in education every day.
The OYEA program celebrates teachers and administrators who exemplify a passion for excellence in educating the whole child, demonstrating leadership; improving student engagement, achievement, and learning; and contributing to the education profession.
The nominations process is currently open and will close on August 1, 2012. Here's how the process works:
- Nominations are submitted online.
- You can nominate a candidate or self-nominate. There are two award categories, teacher and administrator.
- The ASCD Selection Committee reviews the online nomination.
- Exemplary nominees are asked to submit a personal statement.
- Select candidates are invited to participate in a video interview.
- The committee selects a group of honorees.
- The OYEA winner is chosen from among the honorees.
- The award is presented to OYEA winners at ASCD's Annual Conference.
