COMMANDANT'S PARTNERSHIP IN EDUCATION AWARD CRITERIA
The Partnership In Education Program Award recognizes the very best unit and collaborative
partnership programs developed and/or maintained by a Coast Guard unit during the award
period. The award period is from 1 September through 31 May of each year.
1. Award Categories. The award is given in two categories:
a. The first category is for the best unit partnership program. This partnership category
includes any cooperative effort between a Coast Guard unit and a school.
b. The second category is for the best collaborative partnership program. This partnership
includes any effort where one or more Coast Guard units coordinate with one or more
community organizations to pool resources to assist one or more schools.
2. Eligibility. All Coast Guard units that have entered into and/or have maintained an active
unit partnership program or collaborative partnership program, as defined by 1a and b above,
from 1 September through 31 May. Each Coast Guard unit is allowed one nomination quota
for each of the two award categories.
3. Selection Criteria. A selection panel will be formed by Commandant (G-H) to review all
nomination packages and to recommend the award recipients. Factors such as unit size (large
or small) and/or geographical location can be considered along with other partnership
accomplishments by the selection panel. Each nomination package submitted must reflect the
unit's partnership activity and support the unit's stated accomplishments using one or more of
the following criteria:
a. Quality Achievement. The results of accomplished pre-stated goals and objectives, which
show positive results for units and schools (e.g., improved test scores, increased morale
among members of the units, increased student interest in class work and in Coast Guard
missions, increased student and faculty attendance, and identified role models).
b. Excellence In Education. Documented evidence of enhanced student learning in the areas
of reading, math, the sciences, computer learning methods, and drug awareness (e.g.,
increased test scores, writing essays resulting in academic achievement awards, improved
reading and writing skills by developing newsletters, computerized learning instructional
techniques, computerized literacy programs, marine science projects, and programs on
drug free America or just say no to drugs).
c. Improved Educational Opportunities. Documentation of students' participation in
classroom instruction from tutors, mentors, teacher assistants, lecturers, and guest
speakers on expert subject matter. These improved opportunities can be unique
