Governor's Teacher Recognition Program The Governor's Teacher Recognition Program was developed in 1985 for the purpose of acknowledging teachers who exhibit outstanding performance. The premise of recognizing teachers is based on the following: (1) the success of our public schools are due to the quality and dedication of their teaching staff; (2) recognizing excellence will encourage teachers to strive for excellence; (3) by giving the teaching profession the stature and recognition it deserves, more capable people will be attracted to the profession; and (4) like other professions, outstanding performance should be acknowledged.

On January 9, 2004 enacted the Governor's Annual Educational Services Professionals Recognition Act for the purpose of acknowledging those who hold educational services professional certificates and who exhibit outstanding performance.
