Outstanding German Educator Award
Awarded by the AATG for excellence in teaching, as evidenced by the individual's ability to stimulate and challenge students intellectually; and the teacher's professional growth and contributions, as evidenced by continued study, by the ability to influence the quality of education in classrooms other than one's own, and by contributions to the academic environment outside the classroom. Three awards are given yearly at the Annual Meeting: one to an elementary, middle school or junior high school instructor; one to a high school instructor; one to a post-secondary instructor.
