Two award winners, one teaching in grades K-5 and one in grades 6-12, receive $25,000 each with the stipulation that $10,000 must be used within a year for international travel and/or study to broaden the thinking and experience of the winning teachers and further enhance their excellence as professional educators. The award has been administered since 1999 by Blue Ridge PBS.
More information will be forthcoming as the event date nears. Watch for printed materials, e-mail correspondence, and Web site updates on this site and on Blue Ridge PBS’s Web site.
