DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 15, 2016

The Humane Society of the United States, the nation’s largest animal protection organization, advocates for better laws to protect animals; conducts campaigns to reform animal-related industries; provides animal rescue and emergency response services; investigates cases of animal cruelty; and cares for animals through its sanctuaries and wildlife rehabilitation centers, emergency shelters, and clinics.

Each year since 1981, the Humane Society of the United States Foundation has recognized an outstanding teacher who consistently incorporates humane education into his or her curriculum and/or motivates students to get involved in community service for animals.

The foundation is seeking nominations of pre-K-12 teachers for the 2016 National Kind Teacher Award. The winner will receive a framed certificate and a scholarship to the Humane Society University’s Certified Humane Education Specialist program.

To be eligible, all nominees must be a pre-K-12 classroom teacher who includes humane lessons in the curriculum or inspires students to act on behalf of animals. Self-nominations are accepted.
