Innovative Teacher Recognition Award

Do you know a teacher who has made a significant impact on the lives of their students? If so, we want to recognize them! Here’s how you can help us give Georgia’s teachers the recognition they deserve. 

Principals, assistant principals, instructional coaches, district leadership, teachers, parents and students can complete a brief form to nominate a teacher deserving of being recognized for finding unique and innovative ways to engage and inspire students: https://www.georgiateachersinitiative.org/recognition/. 

Winning teachers will receive a $1,000 DonorsChoose gift card along with a Georgia Teachers Initiative “SWAG” kit shipped directly to their school. The College Football Playoff Foundation team will review nominations and announce awards weekly. Winners will be contacted by 4 PM EST each Friday.
