Milken Family Foundation National Educator Award
The Milken Family Foundation National Educator Award is the largest teacher recognition program in the United States. The award was created in 1982 to reward, retain and attract the highest quality K-12 educators to the profession. It provides public recognition, an unrestricted financial award of $25,000 and an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles, California, to participate in the annual Milken National Education Conference in April.
There is no nomination or application procedure for the Milken Award. A Blue
Ribbon Committee independently seeks out potential Milken Educators and
recommends candidates directly to the Milken Family Foundation for
consideration.
Milken Educators demonstrate:
- Exceptional educational talent as evidenced by outstanding instructional
practices in the classroom, school, and profession.
- Outstanding accomplishment and strong long-range potential
for professional and policy leadership.
- Engaging and inspiring presence that motivates and impacts
students, colleagues, and the community.
The Milken Family Foundation provides further information on Milken Educator
Awards.
Washington’s Milken Family Foundation National Educator Awards Program is
coordinated by Hilary Seidel, Excellence in Education Recognition Coordinator –
