OkACTE Award Opportunities

Do you know of someone deserving of recognition for going that extra mile?

Request for Application and Information

Each summer Guidance Division members are selected to receive OkACTE Awards based on their professional and personal accomplishments. The Guidance Awards committee has revised our nomination process to streamline documentation for nominees in the Outstanding Educator, New Professional categories. Only the selected winners in these categories will complete the entire documentation process. For more information, contact the awards chair listed at the bottom of the page.

Outstanding Career and Technology Educator

Individuals (primary guidance members) who are currently employed as full-time baccalaureate career and technology education teacher educators, administrators, career guidance counselors, program specialists and other individuals involved in career and technology education other than full-time classroom teachers are eligible recipients for this award. Contributions and achievements on which the nomination is based should have been made within the past ten years. The nominee must also have been involved in some capacity in OkACTE/ ACTE activities at the state, regional or national level, and must have been a member of OkACTE/ ACTE for a minimum of the past five consecutive years and of the Guidance division for at least the past two consecutive years. The Outstanding Educator will represent Oklahoma Guidance at Region IV and will receive a stipend to defray expenses.

OkACTE New Professional

The award will be given to an individual who has been a primary member of the Guidance division no less than two, but no more than five years. The nominee must NOT have previously attended an ACTE Convention. Six awards will be given by OkACTE to provide funding to attend the ACTE conference. Because the purpose of the award is professional development, award recipients are required to attend the entire convention, beginning with the opening General Session through the Delegate Assembly.

In the event the Guidance New Professional in not selected by OkACTE for funding, the Guidance Division will match the OkACTE funding.

Kaleidoscope Award

The Kaleidoscope Award has been established to recognize those entities that embrace and promote diversity. Sincere commitment to processes and activities that promote a pluralistic campus, community, or agency must be demonstrated. These processes and activities must be aimed at developing, improving, and promoting awareness of and opportunities for integrating multiculturalism, gender equity, and those with physical disabilities into career and technology education programs.
