Celebrate Excellence in Education: Nominate an Inspiring Teacher for the 2025 World Educator Award!
January 9th, 2025 9:00AM -5:00PM
Each year, the World Affairs Council honors a local educator who has made exceptional contributions in broadening the global horizons of students and colleagues. The recipient of the World Educator Award is an outstanding K-12 teacher who promotes international understanding in the classroom and contributes to the development of resources so that other educators and community members are better prepared to meet a major challenge of our time. Our children’s lives will be defined by the world within and beyond our borders; a World Affairs Council World Educator is someone who works to ensure that their students’ learning is reflective of that reality.
Whether you are a teacher and have a colleague who has been a leader in promoting international understanding at your school, a student and have a teacher who has expanded your worldview, or are a parent who is grateful for the role a teacher has played in shaping your child’s perspective–we look forward to reviewing your nominations!
Last year, 2024 World Educator, Stephanie King, educator at Granger Highschool was presented with a certificate of achievement at our 2024 World Citizen Essay Contest Awards Ceremony where she shared with our community about her work to advance global education within her classroom and district. She received complimentary induction into our esteemed Fellows Program and was also granted the unique opportunity to conceive and lead a Global Classroom workshop for educators, which will take place March of this year!
Additionally, as a token of appreciation for her work to bring the world into the classroom, Ms. King received a delightful gift certificate for two from Seattle Seaplanes, offering an exhilarating tour of Seattle's breathtaking sights.
