“There is a walk of fame for actors, actresses, producers and directors. Yet before there was a superstar actor or actress, there was always a teacher encouraging them.” Founder Joe Andrews
The WALK OF HEARTS® Foundation recognizes exceptional educators for their commitment, innovation, and positive influence on their students’ lives. The WALK OF HEARTS® Foundation is open to all who teach, or have taught, both in public and private schools.
Educators are selected via nominations from their students, school staff and the community submitted on the website, walkofhearts.com. The selection committee looks for teachers who have shown the passion and dedication that changes the lives of students. The ideal nominee is a teacher who is motivating, stimulating, and has that unique ability to inspire and perhaps - with a word or two of encouragement – change a life. This individual creates a positive, pleasant and productive learning environment while treating their students with respect.
Thank a teacher today and submit a nomination at walkofhearts.com
