Awards and Recognition
  

The Office of Partnership Development and Recognition develops corporate and other partnerships and secures underwriting and other grants for non-state or federal funded programs and activities.  The Office also oversees and coordinates Maryland’s major education recognition programs such as the Teacher of the Year Program, Blue Ribbon Schools Program, and the Milken National Educator Awards.  With these recognition programs, the Office liaisons with the National sponsoring agencies - the Council of Chief State School Officers, the U.S. Department of Education, and the Milken Foundation.
