"Watching the pace, scale and quality of collaborations taking place across the education village is very exciting. Recognition that it takes a village to educate children is growing, and we're seeing formally siloed sectors of the education community building bridges to each other. This is the good news about what's happening in American education and around the world, and the Bammy Awards are here to celebrate those who are making it happen every day," said Errol St.Clair Smith, Bammy Awards executive producer.
Modeled on the broad scope of the Oscars, Grammys and Emmys, the Bammy Awards were created to be a cross-discipline honor celebrating the entire education village.
