“Educational institutions put the power of teamwork to improve their performance.”

All finalists are winners! There will be two levels of recognition and two awards of excellence. All finalists receive recognition or an award. We eliminated the competition aspect, and aligned our program to recognize or award each team according to their performance based on the ETER criteria.

What is the Education Team Excellence Recognition (ETER) Award?
ETER recognizes teams who are improving educational outcomes, stakeholder involvement and school quality

  • It’s a premier showcase for recognizing and awarding outstanding educational teams
  • It’s a national stage for sharing your innovative solutions and best practices
  • It’s an opportunity to extend your personal and organizational knowledge
  • It’s an inspiring celebration that rewards your organization’s commitment to continuous improvement
