With the school year winding down, Schools Chancellor David C. Banks announced the winners of the tenth annual Big Apple award, which honored 20 outstanding educators for their leadership, dedication to their students and overall contributions to their schools.
The Big Apple award is a citywide recognition award program which celebrates New York City public school teachers for their service to their schools and to education as a whole.
This year’s 20 recipients were all surprised by Chancellor Banks or another DOE leader June 23 to honor their work. This year’s recipients include 13 classroom teachers, 4 arts teachers, a pre-K teacher, a physical education teacher, and a charter school recipient.
