The Golden Apple Foundation of New Mexico is dedicated to the recognition, recruitment and professional development of outstanding teachers to improve the quality of education for all children. Golden Apple rewards teaching excellence, recruits promising students into the profession, and renews the commitment of dedicated teachers. Golden Apple fulfills this mission through three initiatives: Golden Apple Teaching Excellence Awards, Golden Apple Scholars Program, and Golden Apple Academy.
Golden Apple seeks to transform education…
…By recognizing, rewarding, and retaining outstanding teachers, who become life-long members of the Golden Apple Academy, an ongoing professional learning community working to enhance education in New Mexico.
…By recruiting, instructing, and mentoring students who are preparing to become New Mexico’s next generation of teachers.
“Nothing is more vital to our future than ensuring that we attract and retain the best teachers in our public schools.”-Louis V. Gerstner, former CEO, IBM
