About This Opportunity

Established in 1995, the Beveridge Family Teaching Prize honors the Beveridge family's long-standing commitment to the American Historical Association and K–12 teaching. Friends and family members endowed this award to recognize excellence and innovation in elementary, middle school, and secondary history teaching, including career contributions and specific initiatives. The prize is awarded on a two-year cycle rotation: in even-numbered years to a group, and in odd-numbered years to an individual. Recipients are selected based on excellence in teaching or innovative initiatives applicable to the entire field of K–12 history education. The award recognizes educators who demonstrate outstanding contributions to history teaching, utilize strong historical scholarship, and show innovation in their approach and development.
