The ASE Education Foundation has opened applications for its 2023 Bryl Shoemaker/ASE Education Foundation Instructor of the Year award.

The ASE Education Foundation has opened applications for its 2023 Bryl Shoemaker/ASE Education Foundation Instructor of the Year award, according to a press release.

The award will be given to a high school or college instructor teaching an ASE-accredited automotive, diesel/truck, or collision repair program, and that has displayed significant dedication and care for their students.

The award was created in honor of Byrl Shoemaker, Ph.D., who was the state director of vocational and adult education at the Ohio Department of Education from 1962 to 1982. He helped develop career technical education programs throughout Ohio and two-year technician education centers that have evolved into community colleges around the state.

The Instructor of the Year will receive a plaque, $1,000, and a paid trip to Clearwater, Florida, to attend the ASE's board of directors fall meeting and be recognized at the annual technician of the year recognition banquet on November 15.

Applications are due by May 22. To enter, instructors must be nominated by an administrator, such as a principal, program director, dean, department chair, or CTE director. Those who are chosen as finalists will be contacted by ASE Education Foundation field managers.
