Educators make the biggest difference in the lives of students every single day. The Educator Impact Awards is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate them.
The Odysseyware® Educator Impact Award honors educators using Odysseyware in unique and beneficial ways to inspire students to find their path and purpose – and reach their greatest potential. We recognize that the passion, dedication, and enthusiasm shown by an educator is contagious and impactful.
Thank you to all the educators who nominated and applied for our 2019 Odysseyware Educator Impact Awards! With over 300 nominations this year, we are excited to announce our 19 phenomenal finalists!
