The History Channel Outstanding History Educator Award

The 2008 awards cycle is now closed to submissions.
Please check back in early Spring 2009.

The History Channel Outstanding History Educator Award is given annually to an educator who has made an exceptional contribution to history education through the National History Day (NHD) program. The individual may be a teacher, media specialist, district or state History Day coordinator, judge, or parent.

The winner receives an award of $5,000. Nominees must have demonstrated success in involving students in the program, service to the NHD contest, service in the discipline of history in general, and leadership in professional development. NHD also offers a $1,000 "Richard Farrell Teacher of Merit Award" to an educator who used the program as part of the curriculum.

Anyone may propose nominees for this award.

Applications must be received by May 1, 2008. For more information about the award, visit the National History Day site: www.nhd.org/OutstandingHistoryEducator.htm
