โจ A journey shaped by curiosity, teaching, and discovery
Every studentโs learning journey begins with a spark.
Through the Common Core Program, that spark is nurtured by interdisciplinary study and experiential learning, helping students broaden their horizons, cultivate curiosity, spark creativity, and develop a lifelong passion for learning.
Behind this journey are two essential forces: instructors who open new ways of thinking, and students who carry that inspiration forward through dedicated learning and meaningful achievements.
This year, the 2025 Common Core Awards Presentation Ceremony brought these two forces together for the first time, combining the Teaching Excellence Award and the Student Recognition Award in one shared celebration.
The ceremony recognized instructors for their outstanding contributions to exemplary Common Core courses and acknowledged students for their exceptional achievements in Common Core studies.
Congratulations to this yearโs awardees:
