Whether founding the nation’s preeminent teacher recognition program, promoting excellence through academic achievement, preserving and expanding a cultural legacy or pioneering the nation’s most successful comprehensive education reform system, MFF continues to champion strategies that elevate education in America and around the world. Our initiatives: - Strengthen the profession by recognizing and rewarding outstanding educators, and by expanding their professional leadership and policy influence. - Attract, develop, motivate and retain the best talent for the teaching profession. - Stimulate creativity and productivity among people of all ages through programs that encourage learning as a lifelong process.
