The Shaklee Teacher Award is designed to recognize up to ten of America's most outstanding teachers of children with disabilities. Selection of teachers will be based on specific student outcomes and related contributions they have accomplished in their roles as teachers of children with disabilities. The standards reflected in this award exemplify the attributes of outstanding educators as determined by the Shaklee Institute Senior Scholars. The application process requires the outstanding teacher to describe numerous aspects of their competence as an educator and their overall involvement within the field. The award is limited to professionals involved in direct teaching programs for children with disabilities.
