Given in conjunction with the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS), the Robert H. Jackson Center National Award for Teaching Justice honors an educator who “teaches the concept of justice in creative, inspiring ways, which may include teaching about civil liberties, human rights, international humanitarian law, the Holocaust, genocide studies, or local issues of justice.”
Named after Nuremberg Chief Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson, the award comes with a $2,500 cash award and official recognition as a “Jackson Center Outstanding Educator”, with airfare or mileage for the winner’s travel from their city of residence to the 2015 NCSS Annual Conference in New Orleans to accept the award in person this November.
Nominations are due by June 26, 2015
