Lawrence Awards for Outstanding Teaching in Wisconsin
The Lawrence Awards for Outstanding Teaching in Wisconsin recognize two secondary school teachers each year with a generous monetary award and a citation of excellence presented during the Baccalaureate ceremony held on Commencement Weekend. Teachers are nominated by graduating seniors who attended school in Wisconsin, and recipients are selected by a committee of education faculty from the College and Conservatory.
Award recipients should be outstanding teachers who:
- create a sense of excitement for and enthusiasm about learning;
- actively engage students and motivate them to do their best work;
- contribute to the well-being of their school and its community; and
- are committed to the personal growth of their students.
Any Wisconsin middle or high school teacher, public or private, is eligible.
