UCEA Excellence in Educational Leadership Award

 

*UPDATE* Deadline moved to April 30, 2023.

Nominate An Excellent Educational Leader (Login to your account via the member portal)

The Award

The UCEA Executive Committee is asking for nominees for the 23rd Annual Excellence in Educational Leadership Award, in recognition of practicing school administrators who have made significant contributions to the improvement of administrator preparation. This distinguished school administrator should demonstrate an exemplary record of supporting school administrator preparation efforts. This award, one of national recognition, provides a unique mechanism for UCEA universities to build good will and recognize the contributions of practitioners to the preparation of educational leaders. Funds to establish the Educational Leadership Award were originally donated to UCEA by the Network of University Community School Districts, a consortium of school districts in university towns. However, UCEA now fully funds this important initiative.

The Procedure

The UCEA Plenum Representative (PSR) at each participating university should consult with colleagues and other constituencies designated by faculty to identify a worthy recipient. The PSR (or a designee) should plan to make the award presentation at an annual departmental, college, or university ceremony. The nomination deadline is now April 30, 2023.

After that time, UCEA will provide official certificates of recognition to universities who have designated a recipient. UCEA will publish the names of the award recipients and their sponsoring university in the UCEA Review and place the recipient’s names on the UCEA mailing list for 1 year. If desired, UCEA also will provide a boilerplate press release for announcing the award recipient to news agencies; however, the university may choose to coordinate this announcement through its public relations office in order to include additional information about the award presentation.

To nominate a candidate, please navigate to the following link and follow instructions for the following:

  1. Nominations are limited to one person per year. However, if there are extenuating circumstances, a nominator may submit a paragraph (Please email the paragraph to uceaawards@gmail.com with the title of the award in the subject line.) explaining the rationale for nominating more than one practitioner in the same year. If approval is given, more than one practitioner may receive the EEL award. If approval is not given, nominees must be limited to a single practitioner.
  • A Letter of Nomination including information supporting your university’s selection of this individual and listing specific details about the nominee’s contributions to the professional preparation of school leaders, for which he/she is being honored (Word or .pdf formats only).
  • A completed Nomination Form (see the link below).  Specific bio-data will be required to complete the form.
  • A Statement of Significant Contribution, entered in a field of the Nomination Form (1-3 sentences about the contributions to the nominating institution for which the nominee is being honored)

After that time, UCEA will provide official certificates of recognition to universities who have designated a recipient later. UCEA will publish the names of the award recipients and their sponsoring university in the UCEA Review and place the recipient’s names on the UCEA mailing list for one year. If desired, UCEA also will provide a boilerplate press release for announcing the award recipient to news agencies; however, the university may choose to coordinate this announcement through its public relations office in order to include additional information about the award presentation.

Please note that Plenum Representatives, or their designator at each member university, are responsible for making the award presentation at an annual departmental, college, or university ceremony. If you have a award ceremony that is very close to or before the March deadline, please contact UCEA Headquarters for expedited processing of the award.

Funds to establish the Educational Leadership Award were originally donated to UCEA by the Network of University Community School Districts, a consortium of school districts in university towns. However, UCEA now fully funds this important initiative.

Nominations must be received by April 30th, 2023.
