Overview
The Oklahoma ACTE awards program seeks to promote excellence
in CareerTech education by recognizing individuals
who have made extraordinary contributions to the field,
programs that exemplify the highest standards and organizations
that have conducted activities to promote and expand CareerTech education programs.
There are eleven categories of Oklahoma ACTE awards:
The association's Awards Committee administers the Teacher of the Year, Outstanding Educator, Outstanding New Teacher, New Professional, and Outstanding Teacher in Community Service awards. The committee consists of one representative
from each of Oklahoma ACTE's thirteen divisions, a chair, and the Oklahoma ACTE
assistant director as advisor. The committee is responsible
for reviewing applications and approving division awards selection committee recommendations, recommending the awards winners to the association and for overseeing all aspects of the recognition program for award recipients.
The Support Staff Division selects the winner of the Support Staff Award.
Members of the Diversity Action Committee select the Kaleidoscope Award winner.
The Oklahoma ACTE assistant director approves Silver Key Award recipients’ applications.
The staff at the University of Oklahoma College of Education or their representative selects the Arch Alexander Award recipient.
The staff at Oklahoma ACTE will coordinate the selection for the Francis Tuttle Career Excellence and the Distinguished Service Awards.
The Awards Committee reserves the right to return any application
that is not appropriate for the category in which it was
submitted.
All awards will be presented during the annual Summer Conference.
