As we reflect on all that teachers have experienced this year, we are reminded of why we do what we do. Educators inspire and motivate us every day, and we are grateful for the opportunity to support them in their important work.
We hope you’ll join us in celebrating the hard work of teachers by participating in our Educator of the Year awards. Don’t miss the opportunity to nominate and vote for the teachers who are making an impact in education and deserve the spotlight. Educators can nominate themselves or be nominated by a colleague!

If you’ve seen posts on social media that mention PioNears, Nearpod/Flocabulary Certified Educators, or Camp Engage, then you’ve seen the result of Lindsay’s work. She is grateful for the incredible relationships she’s built with educators across the globe and would love to connect with anyone interested in getting more involved with Nearpod’s community!
