Outstanding Young Educator Award

From 2002 to 2013, ASCD recognized young professionals who make a positive difference in education every day through the Outstanding Young Educator Program (OYEA). 

The OYEA program celebrated the next generation of teachers and administrators who demonstrate outstanding leadership. ASCD honored educators who exemplified a passion for excellence in

• educating the whole child;
• demonstrating leadership;
• improving student engagement, achievement, and learning; and
• contributing to the education profession.

In March 2013, ASCD presented the final Outstanding Young Educator Awards at the association's 2013 Annual Conference and Exhibit Show in Chicago, Ill.

We thank the education community for joining us in recognizing all our winners and nominees over the last 10 years. Their efforts will continue to be an inspiration to educators everywhere who seek to support the success of each learner.

Although this program has concluded, the association continues to recognize, support, and cultivate younger educators worldwide through the Emerging Leaders program. If you have any additional questions, please contact ASCD's Constituent Services team.
