TxATE is currently accepting nominations for two prestigious awards celebrating exceptional educators. Both awards will be presented at the 2025 TxATE Summer Conference on June 10, 2025, at the SHSU Woodlands Campus.

Submission Deadline: Friday, May 9, 2025

Please consider nominating deserving candidates for one or both of the following awards. Nomination forms can be accessed by clicking on the award titles.

The Distinguished Clinician Award

This award recognizes a public school teacher who has demonstrated exemplary service in the field and excellence in supervising clinical teachers, yearlong residents, and/or clinical interns.

Nominees should have made significant contributions as practicing clinicians who have successfully mentored and supervised student teachers. While special consideration will be given to TxATE members, non-members may also be selected.

The Johanna Sullivan Educator Recognition Award

Named after Helen Keller's teacher and companion, the Annie Sullivan Award celebrates advocates, dedicated educators, and role models who have made a lasting impact on students and the community.

Nominees may be exemplary educators at any level and in any position—public PK-12, higher education, or other educational settings. Both in-service and retired educators are eligible.

For questions about either award, please contact Dr. Jannah Nerren at jannah.nerren@sfasu.edu.
