Teacher Rewards

Teacher Rewards Recognition Program

Earn Premier Status for your school.

Each year, RITE provides special recognition and rewards to highly engaged teachers. Teachers who promote, support, and engage their students in multiple IT career awareness, exploration and immersive skills-based programs offered by RITE and its partners earn this distinction. Benefits include cash prizes, school recognition, early registration opportunities, and unique engagement opportunities with IT business leaders and industry professionals.

How the Reward Program Works

Think of it as an IT career loyalty program. Each time you engage your students in a qualified activity, you earn credit towards rewards for you, your classroom, and your school. This program runs September – August each academic year.

Teachers qualify by enrolling their students in RITE and other program offerings and completing a simple year-end profile of engagement. RITE will recognize engagement across organizational offerings at all levels. The minimum qualification for Teacher Rewards is engagement in at least two RITE programs and at least one other qualifying activity.
