The GSE welcomes nominations of PreK-12 educators for the Alumni Excellence in Education Award. Strong candidates will have demonstrated excellence in one or more of the following award criterion:
- Commitment to dynamic, high-quality educational practice in a PreK-12 classroom
- Dedication to underserved and low-resourced student populations
- Devotion to helping students find their voices as learners and realize their fullest human potential
- Innovation in addressing a timely issue or challenge in education
- Leadership as a standard-setter in student-centered educational practice
Nominations for all GSE alumni, from recent grads to those with more established careers, are welcome. The person submitting the nomination does not need to have any Stanford affiliation. Self-nominations cannot be accepted.
Each nominee can be reviewed three times.
Recipients are selected by a committee that includes GSE alumni, faculty, and the dean. The GSE Alumni Excellence in Education Award cohort is announced in August of each year.
We strongly encourage recipients to attend the award reception (typically in October) in person (travel stipend available to recipients who travel to Stanford from beyond the SF Bay Area).
DEADLINE: Nominations for the 2024 award are now closed. If you wish to submit a nomination, we would be delighted to consider it for next year's award. Please reach out to Marly Solebello with any questions. The 2024 Alumni Excellence in Education Award honorees will be announced in August followed by a celebration at reunion in October.
