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 2024 ends on September 9, 2024.
