Apply for a Global Understanding Teaching Award

Each year, the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) gives an award to a social studies educator in honor of "notable contributions in helping social studies students increase their understanding of the world." With support from the Longview Foundation, the winning educator will be honored during the annual NCSS conference in November 2010.

This award includes a $2,000 cash award, a commemorative gift, a presentation session at the conference, complimentary conference registration, and limited funds for transportation and lodging.

Social studies educators are invited to nominate themselves or colleagues who are eligible according to the categories described on the NCSS website. Nominations must be submitted to the selection committee by May 15, 2010.
