Teaching Excellence Award
Honoring exceptional teaching of America’s founding principles and history at the college and K-12 levels.
We believe that educators need to be recognized for their role in creating engaged and thoughtful citizens.
Civic learning depends on cultivating young minds through stories of hope, inspiration, and success. At the Jack Miller Center, we have met thousands of educators across the country who are inspiring their students to be more engaged and thoughtful citizens.
The Jack Miller Center’s Teaching Excellence Award is an annual honor given to a college and K-12 educator who does an exceptional job engaging students in the story of America through primary documents, new courses, and/or extracurricular activities.
The 2024 Teaching Excellence Award
Over the summer, the Jack Miller Center received applications for our fourth annual Teaching Excellence Award. The award recognizes exceptional teaching in civic education at both the college and K-12 levels.
Applicants either applied on their own behalf or nominate others. Winners will receive a $2,000 prize.
