Winslow Coyne Reitnouer, better known as Winnie, has a heart and passion for educators because she believes they have the power to impact the trajectory of a child’s life. Now in its tenth year, this Excellence in Education award honors U.S. educators who display exemplary dedication and performance to ensure literacy and learning for developing readers.
If you know a teacher, administrator, school, or district that has transformed literacy instruction and works hard to make a difference every day in the lives of students, we’d like to know about them.
The Winslow Coyne Reitnouer Excellence in Education Award honors leaders in education who understand that reading instruction must focus on the learner and the variables that impact a child’s ability to understand and achieve. Instruction not only includes word decoding and language comprehension but also addresses students’ cognitive functioning and environmental factors to attend to the whole child. Winning educators, schools, and/or districts will receive cash awards and other exciting prizes, as well as opportunities to showcase their work.
Parents, students and educators are eligible to nominate, and note that educators are encouraged to nominate themselves.
The nomination period begins in June 2024 and ends on February 14, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET.
