On September 12, 2020, The Succeeds Prize awarded $120,000 to some of Colorado’s most forward-thinking educators.
In an unprecedented year characterized by a quick pivot to remote learning in response to COVID-19 and a movement for social justice, The Succeeds Prize 2020 was truly unlike any other. The inspiring stories of six winners and six finalists were told through a made-for-TV special on 9News that revealed what is possible when educators build agile systems that support agile learners and prepare them to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.
