There are nearly 75,000 teachers in Los Angeles County, working every day to help their students achieve their potential. Teachers are at the frontlines of the battle for educational justice – and we know that a great teacher can have transformational impact on their students’ success, and the trajectory of their lives. Educators and students have returned to the physical classroom after a year and a half and have undoubtedly faced new obstacles as hybrid programs are expanded and we continue to navigate the fallout from the pandemic.

The LA County Office of Education and the Greater LA Education Foundation believe in teachers. The Teachers of the Year Equitable Innovation Grant Program supports and spotlights the incredible efforts that teachers take on behalf of their students every day.

Grants will be awarded to teachers and educators that demonstrate the dedication, innovation, and creativity that are the hallmarks of the LA County Teachers of the Year Program. The grant program is in partnership with Teachers of the Year but is open to all educators in LA County’s public schools including counselors, club leaders, and more.
