DoDEA Topic Archive : Recognition Programs

The DoDEA Principal of the Year program recognizes outstanding school principals who have excelled in leading efforts to provide high-quality learning opportunities for their students.

The Educator of Promise Award was created by the DoDEA Director to honor the legacy and service of retired senior leader and long- time educator, Dr. Linda L. Curtis. The award was created in 2019 to recognize DoDEA educators with less than 3 years of teaching experience with DoDEA who demonstrate teacher leadership qualities. Only one Educator of Promise will be the recipient each school year.

The DoDEA Teacher of the Year (TOY) Program brings recognition to great teachers, students, parents, districts, communities, DoDEA and the profession of teaching.
