About the R.E.B. Awards for Teaching Excellence
The R.E.B. Awards for Teaching Excellence were established in 1988 to recognize public school teachers who have distinguished themselves by their inspiring classroom performance. The program has been developed by The Community Foundation and is funded by the R.E.B. Foundation.
The R.E.B. Foundation believes that a child’s educational experience at the elementary, middle, and high school levels should develop basic skills and form positive life-long habits towards learning and discipline. The R.E.B. Foundation is committed to improving public education so as to benefit a broad segment of the community.
The awards are designed to identify, recognize, and support teaching excellence in the metropolitan Richmond public school systems. Grants ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 are given to approximately fifteen teachers to support professional development activities. Recipients are required to share educational ideas and experiences with fellow teachers.
The Community Foundation invites nominations from students, parents, teaching colleagues, other school personnel, and the community at-large. The ten-member Steering committee reviews each nomination to determine final candidates. Final candidates are asked to submit proposals for use of the award.
