Educator Awards

Nominate

Updated information and nomination forms will be available in early fall.

Do you know an educator who goes above and beyond the call of duty? Nominate them for TCEA’s annual Educator Awards.

TCEA chooses teachers and administrators from across Texas, based on their dedication to the integration of technology into the classroom curriculum, and honors them with Educator Awards at an Awards Ceremony at the annual convention in February.

Winners and runners-up are presented with checks and plaques in a special event that family and friends can attend. Winners of the seven awards receive engraved plaques and $1,000 each from TCEA. Two finalists will each receive plaques and $500 each.
