Annual Conference Nominations

Every year at the Annual Conference, Texas ASCD presents awards to a select number of people to honor their hard work and dedication to education. Each award recipient is nominated by Texas ASCD members.

Show your appreciation to a valued colleague or a new teacher who is going “above and beyond” in their classroom by nominating them. You may also nominate a journalist or an organization that is doing exceptional work in reporting on education-related issues. The Texas ASCD Award is awarded at the Annual Conference in October.

The nomination period for 2021 ends August 17, 2021.

Texas Whole Child School Award  – The intent of the Texas Whole Child School Award program is to recognize schools that implement a culture and approach to ensure that each child is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged so that he/she can be educated successfully. The award program will increase visibility to the Whole Child philosophy. Texas ASCD believes that more schools will transition from a focus on narrowly defined academic achievement as measured by state tests to a focus that promotes the development of the whole child.
