The Kansas Horizon Award program offers school districts an excellent opportunity to honor outstanding first-year teachers.
The program, sponsored by the Kansas State Department of Education, recognizes and rewards teachers who have served as examples of excellent teaching in elementary and secondary classrooms during their first year of teaching.
Horizon Award winners receive special recognition during the Kansas Exemplary Educators Network (KEEN) state education conference which takes place annually in February, in Topeka.
Nominated teachers must have completed their first year of teaching and be starting their second year. It is easy to nominate a teacher from your district by clicking on this link: http://www.ksde.org/Agency/Fiscal-and-Administrative-Services/Communications-and-Recognition-Programs/Kansas-Horizon-Award-Program
Completed applications must be postmarked no later than Oct. 10.
We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to recognize and reward first-year teachers in your district. For more information, contact Tamla Miller at (785) 296-4950 or tamla.miller@ksde.gov.
