Nominations Invited for 2010 Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Prize in Education
Deadline: March 19, 2010

Now in its 23rd year, the annual Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Prize in Education recognizes notable individuals in education who have mastered the art of “scaling up,” or building upon successful programs.

The McGraw Prize honors leaders from all three levels of education: elementary, secondary, and postsecondary. Winners must have developed programs exhibiting strong school-business partnerships, family engagement, use of cutting-edge technology, and data-driven decision making, among other practices.

Nominations are invited from the public. Only individuals who are presently committed to the cause of education and have been leading successful educational programs that have shown notable progress are eligible for nomination. Institutions, boards, organizations, or other groups are not eligible.

Recipients are honored at a dinner in New York City and each receives a $25,000 prize.

Nomination guidelines and forms are available at the McGraw-Hill Companies’ Web site.
