About the Bammy Awards:
The Bammy Awards is a cross-discipline award that identifies and acknowledges excellence in education. The Bammy Awards were created in response to the tremendous national pressure on educators and education leaders to improve student outcomes, the impact of high-stakes accountability and the intense scrutiny that today's educators face.
