Eligibility
Candidates must be K-12 Indiana school teachers with at least five years of experience. While we hope to select educators from a mix of grade levels, subjects, and geographical locations, we permit multiple nominations from the same district. However, we will select no more than one teacher from each district.
Nomination Process
Teachers can be nominated by their district superintendent in consultation with their building principal. Superintendents write a brief nomination statement for that teacher to include in their application materials.
Nominations are due by Friday, November 14.
Alternatively, teachers can apply directly, and include the nomination letter from their Superintendent as part of their application materials. If applying directly, please email your intention to Gayle Buck at gabuck@iu.edu by Friday, November 14.
All interested teachers must complete the Armstrong Teacher Educator Award Application. Learn more about the application process here.
