Adam Clinch Awarded Travelers Awards for Teaching Excellence

Knowles Senior Fellow Adam Clinch is among the 48 educators who will be honored with the 2025 Travelers Awards for Teaching Excellence. The awardees come from every region of the country and serve urban, rural, and suburban communities. They have demonstrated excellence in the classroom, leadership in the teaching profession, engagement with families and communities, and dedication to equity and diversity.

“These dedicated educators are a reminder of the critical role public education plays in shaping our society and nurturing future generations,” said President and CEO of The NEA Foundation Sara A. Sneed. “During a time when the institution of public education is being challenged, these awardees are a testament to the immeasurable impact even one educator can have for countless students, their families, and their communities at large.”

Since 2001, The NEA Foundation has honored hundreds of exceptional educators throughout the country with the Awards for Teaching Excellence. The 2025 educator awardees will be celebrated at the Salute to Excellence in Education on February 14, 2025, at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. Five of the top awardees will receive the distinction of being named Horace Mann Awardees from among which one will be chosen for the highest honor, the NEA Member Benefits Award.
