The Big Apple Awards (BAA) nomination process for the upcoming cohort of Fellows for the 2023–24 school year is now open through February 28. All members of the school community (including families, students, and community-based organizations) are invited to nominate a teacher for the Big Apple Award.
Nominations can be made by submitting the teacher’s name and school to the DOE All Stars website. Note that you do not need a DOE login to nominate a teacher through this portal, as individuals without a DOE login may sign in as a guest). Alternatively, school community members can email the teacher’s name and school name to bigappleteachers@schools.nyc.gov.
Check out this flyer (with translations), and nominate teachers for the award.
Teachers who are recommended will be considered for the Big Apple Award and, if selected, will have the opportunity to serve as a Big Apple Fellow, take part in the Chancellor’s Teacher Advisory Council, and receive a grant to use towards their classroom.
Nominated teachers will receive an email from bigappleteachers@schools.nyc.gov with a request to complete a nomination application by March 31; final selections will be made by early June, when the Chancellor and senior leaders surprise the winners in their classrooms.
