The TEAI Awards Program is our way of saying 'thank you' to Technology Education professionals throughout Illinois who annually devote time, energy, and sometimes finances to build strong and exciting programs and curriculum. Please note that we have added the description and link to nominate for the IDEA R. Tim Phillips Award below as well.

To make an award nomination:

Description of the TEAI / ITEEA Awards

This individual is also active in professional organizations, and maintains a positive rapport with students, faculty, administration, and the industrial community.  Eligible teachers must have completed at least 5 years of teaching experience.

Program of the Year        (Elementary, Middle School, and High School levels awarded)

Purpose: This award is an acknowledgment of a superior technology education program which provides fundamental knowledge about the development of technology, its effect on people, the environment and culture, and draws its instructional contents from one or more of the following systems: communication, energy utilization, production/manufacturing, and transportation.

IDEA R. Tim Phillips Award

Purpose: Every fall the Illinois Design Educators Association solicits nominations for selection of one of the best Illinois drafting educators. The tradition and award began in 1989 after the IDEA’s sudden loss of fellow drafting educator R. Tim Phillip to cancer. Tim would be proud to know that he received this award posthumously (*) in 1989 from the IDEA membership, just as those who have received it have been proud to follow his lead. Thank you Tim, and thank you to all the IDEA members who take the time to nominate one of their own!
