The WEM Outstanding Educator Awards Program was created in 1998 by the WEM Foundation in support of teachers and their important role in helping all students achieve academically, and seeks to bring recognition to the often "unsung heroes" who daily meet the challenges of teaching in a variety of settings. The Center for Academic Excellence, in partnership with the service cooperative members of The Minnesota Service Cooperatives (MSC), administers the award program on behalf of the WEM Foundation. Only licensed teachers and administrators from Minnesota public or non-public schools are eligible.
Two state honorees are selected in each category and each receives an unrestricted $10,000 gift and crystal apple award. In addition, regional honorees are named in each category who receives an unrestricted $1,000 gift, trophy and the opportunity to compete in the state competition the following year.
