A VITAL LINK | Making a difference Together

The Leaders for Learning Award was created by the Licking County Foundation in 1993 "to honor and recognize public school teachers who exemplify excellence in their fields," according to a news release from the foundation.

Teachers from every school district in Licking County each year are selected by their principals and superintendents for being educators who believe that all students can and want to learn, for making a significant difference in students' lives and for their commitment to professional development and their classroom skills and leadership.

Leaders for Learning Award recipients may apply for $500 grants to further their professional development or purchase classroom materials.

The award is made possible thanks to the Lindorf-Warner Memorial donor advised fund of the Licking County Foundation.
