The Celebration of Teaching event is designed to shine a bright spotlight on women and men who devote their professional lives to fostering the learning and development of PK-12 students in our region. In addition, the Celebrate Teachers & Teaching now recognizes the 'lifetime achievements' of an individual who through their significant contributions to the field of education have helped close the achievement gap and warrant the respect of educational thought leaders in our community.

Concordia University of Wisconsin and its Dean, Dr. Jim Pingel, will host the 2019 event.

The Education Deans of Greater Milwaukee (EDGM) is proud to partner with the Faye McBeath Foundation since 2013 to recognize teachers in the Greater Milwaukee community doing extraordinary work in our schools. In 2017, the Herzfeld Foundation, the Kelben Foundation, Milwaukee Succeeds, and Next Door join the EDGM and the Faye McBeath Foundation in sponsoring the Celebrate Teachers and Teaching award ceremony. This year the event will highlight educators who are devoting their professional lives to fostering 21st century learning in the Milwaukee metropolitan area.

Congratulations to our 2019 Award Winners!
