Technology was already changing the business world at an accelerated pace, even before the global pandemic. However, now technologies like 5G, RPA, robotics and AI are driving an even faster pace of automation. The impacts of this new digital landscape is transforming all industries, sectors and creates great opportunities for leaders who understand the trends and how to harness them for their organizations. 

The purpose of these awards is to call attention to the importance of service in our community. The awards provides an opportunity to publicly applaud our teachers and to reward those who have demonstrated excellence in their profession by "going the extra mile.”

Nominees for the award are solicited from all Dallas ISD schools. Winning recipients each receive a customized engraved plaque, and a cash award from the Rotary Club of Dallas. The teacher awards are funded by an anonymous endowment established with the Dallas Rotary Club Foundation. The proceeds from the investment of the endowment are used to fund the annual awards.

Jeanne Tunks is an associate professor in the Department of Teacher Education and Administration at the University of North Texas. She studies Latino students’ performance in mathematics and runs the International Teacher to Teacher Exchange program between math teachers in Texas and Guatemala.
