The Community Foundation is seeking nominations for its REB Awards for Teaching Excellence.
The awards provide a way to recognize outstanding teachers in Henrico County Public Schools and other local school districts and provide them with the means to continue growing. The annual awards identify, recognize and support teaching excellence in the area. Honorees receive professional development grants of $4,000 to $12,000, given to teachers who have distinguished themselves by their inspiring classroom performance.
Through a nomination process, approximately 15 outstanding teachers are selected each year to receive cash grants to support professional development activities. Nominations are invited from parents, students, educators and the community at large. Award recipients have earned graduate degrees, climbed mountains, studied the effects of climate change, traced their ancestors and met peers from around the world.
Nominations must be made online. A letter in support of the nomination must be written by another person and submitted online with the nomination. To nominate a teacher, visit henricoschools.us and click on "Hot Topics" to find the link. Nominations and letters of support must be submitted online by Feb. 24 at 5 p.m.
For details, contact Tracie Weston, HCPS' director of professional learning and leadership, at (804) 652-3840.
