WKU announces inaugural Distinguished Educator Awards

Bowling Green, KY - Nominations for the WKU College of Education and Behavioral Sciences' first-ever Distinguished Educator Awards opened today.

Each school district may nominate up to 10 educators. All submissions will require a letter of recommendation about the nominee. For more information, visit www.wku.edu/cebs/educatorawards.php or email Stephanie Martin at stephanie.martin@wku.edu. The deadline for entry is Feb. 28, 2020.



The awards will celebrate the individual and significant contributions educators make to the teaching profession. From literacy to innovation, WKU will recognize 10 P-12 educators within the university's service region based on their inspiring solutions in the classroom.

"There are never enough opportunities to say 'thank you' and recognize the work of our Kentucky teachers," said Corinne Murphy, Dean of WKU's College of Education and Behavioral Sciences. "Our goal is to ensure these community mentors and leaders understand WKU's appreciation for their continued contributions to students."

On April 14, 2020, WKU officials will recognize finalists and category winners at an awards ceremony held at the WKU Augenstein Alumni Center. Category winners will each receive a $200 cash prize and a commemorative plaque. Additionally, a perpetual plaque in the Louie B. Nunn Kentucky Teacher Hall of Fame will feature the winners' names for years to come.

WKU will continue to implement and host various teacher appreciation events in 2020 including the Kentucky Teacher Hall of Fame Ceremony. Follow WKU CEBS on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to remain updated on these forthcoming events.
