Superstars in Education

Funded by the business community, Superstars in Education is a statewide awards program seeks to promote and share programs and best practices in education that show measurable results and raise student achievement. This is what takes the ho hum out of the classroom, inspires students, and sparks a true desire to learn.

Since its inception in 1989, Superstars in Education has awarded more than 165 outstanding programs and best practices. Many worthwhile academic programs have been recognized such as: teaching math by using a fantasy hockey league and teaching chemistry as a traveling road show, as well as academic support programs including peer mediation, behavior modification, and school-to-work.

In 2004, the Superstars in Education awards program partnered with Lt. Governor John Carney's Models of Excellence in Education program to add a missing piece from the original Superstars program – sharing of best practices. A forum will be created for the winners of both programs to come together and share their programs with other teachers and curriculum specialists.
