AWARDS

OEA Awards Program
Each Spring, the Oklahoma Education Association honors members and local associations as well as individuals, businesses and organizations outside of education for their dedication to making our public schools the best they can be. In addition, the OEA recognizes professional and high school student journalists for their positive coverage of public education. See a complete listing of OEA Awards and the corresonding online nomination forms here. The Marshall Gregory Awards criteria and nomination form is also available separately. 

NEA Foundation Award for Teaching Excellence
The Oklahoma Education Association, the National Education Association and the NEA Foundation for the Improvement of Education (NFIE) all believe that every student deserves a quality education and that teaching is the single most important component of a quality education. It is appropriate, therefore, that the NEA and its foundation should recognize one of our own members for teacher excellence. In an effort “to recognize, reward and promote excellence in teaching and advocacy for the profession,” the NEA and NFIE annually present the NEA Foundation Award for Teaching Excellence to one of its members. By selecting and celebrating a national winner of this award, we honor teaching excellence, public education, and our dedicated members. Award criteria and nomination form.
