The University of Georgia announces the "Teacher Impact Award"

18 May 2026

 

The University of Georgia announces the “Teacher Impact Award” — an initiative aimed at identifying, supporting, and professionally recognizing educators who turn their work into real and sustainable change.

This is not simply a competition to identify the best teacher.

It is a platform for individuals who create impact every day through their work with students, colleagues, schools, and society as a whole.

 

What does “Teacher Impact” mean?

We are looking for teachers whose work goes beyond the boundaries of the classroom and creates long-term results within the educational ecosystem.

Impact means change that:

  •  Improves students’ academic performance and personal development;
  •  Increases motivation and engagement in learning;
  •  Strengthens colleagues’ professional competencies;
  •  Enhances school culture and the quality of teaching;
  •  Contributes to the social and cultural development of the community.

Why is this competition unique?

The “Teacher Impact Award” is not a one-time recognition — it is a process of support and professional growth.

Support before the award

The project does not only wait for final results. Teachers receive support and empowerment throughout the competition process.

Practical tools

  Participants will have access to workshops, forums, public lectures, and professional resources that will help them improve the teaching and learning process.

A network of impact

One of the main goals of the competition is to establish a network of impactful teachers in Georgia — a community of professionals working together to shape the future of education.

Core Values of the Competition

The initiative is based on principles that define modern education:

  •  Human-centered approach;
  •  Innovation and creativity;
  • Collaboration and social responsibility;
  • Sustainable outcomes.

Applications Are Now Open

If you are creating change, developing students, empowering colleagues, and contributing to the advancement of education — this competition is for you.

Become a candidate for the “Teacher Impact Award” and share your impact.

The “Teacher Impact Award” is implemented within the framework of University of Georgia’s annual initiative — “the University of Georgia for Teachers.” The project aims to support the teaching profession, empower educators, and create new opportunities for professional development throughout the year.

The initiative is based on the belief that everything begins with the teacher — a mentor, a leader, and the person who creates real change in the field of education.
