Awards to USA K-12 classroom teachers who demonstrate special expertise in teaching about the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Congress, and public policy. This program showcases teachers who have demonstrated a special expertise in preparing young people to become informed and engaged citizens.
ACETA aims to pay tribute to elementary and secondary school teachers representing the teaching of civic education for democracy, whether or not it is in separate civics or government classes, the diverse populations of today’s schools, and each geographic region of the United States.
Additional consideration is given to teachers of students in the following categories: ethnic and racial minorities, recent immigrants, disabled and special education, gifted and talented, and juvenile justice.
A criterion for deliberation is to recognize teachers representing diverse geographic regions of the United States, including teachers from rural, suburban, and urban areas.
