The teachers’ projects will work to provide vibrant learning experiences, will innovate in the classroom, especially as it relates to assessment, and will create community engagement and partnerships to further student learning.

The application process was open to the KY ILN’s 43 member districts, and these 10 ​teachers were chosen among many excellent candidates. These teachers span the Commonwealth and a variety of contexts, subject areas, experience, and more. We are thrilled to see them advance innovation in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and directly impact student learning!
