"This award recognizes the transformative impact that public school teachers make in the lives of their students," said Glenn Fuhrman, co-founder of The FLAG Award for Teaching Excellence. He emphasized that educators are frequently unsung heroes, going above and beyond to provide students with essential knowledge and skills, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives. This recognition not only honors individual teachers but also promotes the invaluable role they play in shaping the futures of their students."
"Students, parents, principals or colleagues can nominate teachers from all five boroughs who demonstrate passion, creativity and dedication in the classroom," making it easier for communities to participate in acknowledging the hard work and influence of teachers. This approach broadens the scope of nominations to include a diverse array of educators who significantly impact student learning experiences across all grade levels from 3-K through 12."
The FLAG Award's commitment to celebrating excellence in teaching has resulted in over $1.5 million in awards since its inception, underscoring the program's dedication to recognizing 157 outstanding teachers across New York City. This initiative highlights the importance of rewarding educators who excel in inspiring and guiding students, thereby fostering a supportive educational environment."
