Any current or former student who has been inspired by a teacher's dedication to psychology, counseling, or mental health education can nominate them. You must have the teacher's consent before nominating.

Our selection committee reviews all nominations based on the depth of student testimonials, teaching impact, innovation in education, and contribution to mental health awareness. Two teachers are featured each month.

Featured teachers receive: digital recognition badge, certificate of appreciation, feature across our social media and website, video interview feature, complimentary access to ELEVATE webinars, and the opportunity to nominate 2 students for scholarships. All featured teachers are eligible for the annual Educator of the Year cash prize.

You can nominate multiple teachers over different months, but only one nomination per month per student. Each nomination should be unique and thoughtful.
