Leading up to this project, we have been unbelievably lucky to meet top teachers from all around the world - extraordinary people who routinely go above and beyond their teaching duties to do whatever is necessary to help their students. This has happened through the Varkey Foundation's Global Teacher Prize program.
We want you to be aware of this, and annually any teacher on the planet can be nominated and then apply, or simply just apply. The nomination and application process opens around September each year. If you have a favorite teacher or colleague who does incredible things with children, please consider nominating him or her. The foundation will recognize the Top 50 finalists each year, and that group then is then part of the Varkey Teacher Ambassador Program. And then the Top 10 will be selected from the finalist pool, and from that group one teacher will win a $1 million prize!
This is a remarkable group of educators and human beings, who often collaborate, share resources and experiences and knowledge, and try to put a spotlight on the teacher profession as ambassadors and role models to show what is possible at local, national and global levels of teaching and learning!
