Description

Educators, admin, school staff, and their supporters are invited to join us for a lively, vibrant celebration of teacher leadership in the Minneapolis Public Schools! Join us for heavy appetizers and desserts, special cocktails, and DJ SDOT as we honor the winners of the 2023 MELA Award. The Minneapolis Educator Leadership Awards (MELA) were created to recognize Title I Minneapolis Public School District educators, principals, paraprofessionals, and support staff working consistently with students in a school, for their leadership outside their classroom or defined job duties. We intend to recognize and elevate hardworking professionals diligently educating our children, who often do not get the credit they deserve. The MELA nomination and selection process is entirely teacher driven. Candidates for the award are nominated by their peers, students, parents, or anyone who admires their work as educators. Finalists are selected by a committee of teachers, administrators, and support staff actively working in the Minneapolis public school district.
