Ohio Insurance Educator of the Year
Award 2008
Recognizing that teaching insurance to teenagers isn't a
simple task, the Ohio Insurance Institute honors those educators
who, through their creativity and innovative styles, include
insurance education as part of their students’ "real
life" learning experiences.
The Ohio Insurance Educator of the Year award is given annually
to an Ohio teacher for excellence in insurance education.
This honor recognizes both the teacher and the school.

The competition is open to educators in Ohio vocational
and high schools. Nominations must be submitted to the Institute
no later than March 1, 2008.
