The 2024-2025 AWARDS

Nominating an outstanding art educator for an educator of the year award is a great way to show your appreciation and recognize the hard work and dedication of teachers who go above and beyond.

Nominations are due June 1! Award recipients will be announced at the Idaho Art Education Association conference in October. To nominate a teacher, simply complete the form below and submit the required materials before the deadline. 

We encourage all IAEA members to think of those educators who influence your own teaching practices or inspire your art-making and take the time to recognize their contributions to the community.

Consider the characteristics of outstanding art educators. Think about their ability to touch the lives of young children and encourage them to flourish and grow. Consider those who inspire lifelong learning through their actions and example. Consider those who reach out to others to build strong, mutually beneficial partnerships with others to support student learning through visual arts.
