Emerging Leaders
The Phi Delta Kappa Emerging Leader program recognizes top educators from around the world for their leadership, particularly related to PDK's tenets of service, research, and leadership. The award winners are selected from a competitive class of applicants based on their outstanding professional accomplishments. The PDK Emerging Leader award is a respected honor within the education community. Previous Emerging Leaders have said that this honor helped them secure job promotions and other accolades.
