Attention Education Reformers:
After three years, Democrats for Education Reform will be reviving the annual Brian Bennett Education Warrior Awards!
Named after the late education advocate, a nationally-known activist and education reformer, and a front-line warrior for four decades in the fight to close the achievement gap, the Brian Bennett Award serves to honor those that are heroes of public education reform and tireless advocates for children. Past award recipients include such education warriors as Former Colorado State Senate President Peter Groff, Dr. Howard Fuller, Representative George Miller, New Jersey State Senator Teresa Ruiz and Colorado Senator Mike Johnston.
An “Education Warrior” is a hero of public education reform, a tireless advocate for all children, and someone whose leadership serves to remind us of what we can do every day to strive for educational excellence in our public schools.
So who will be our Brian Bennett Education Warrior(s)? Complete this form to submit your nomination(s)! You can nominate more than one person, but please fill out only one form per nominee.
