Get to know us
We are a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in the US with an international focus on teacher innovation and inventiveness.
We honor and award teachers to inspire positive educational change from the ground up.
Our Mission
The Murdock-Thompson Center for Teachers believes that grassroots educational reform can be driven through empowerment of our most innovative, creative, and resourceful teachers whose efforts in the classroom are not widely recognized. The Murdock-Thompson Center for Teachers exists to honor and support educators for the ingenuity and innovation that they bring to the classrooms today.
Our Vision
We envision empowering West African teachers as innovators: shaping equitable, creative, and transformational learning experiences for their students while drawing the best of future generations into the educational profession.
Our programs and organizational partnerships allow us to support and award teachers across West Africa. We acknowledge a special partnership with 
Intellectual Giants of Africa Foundation (INGAF), based in Abuja, Nigeria, to help strengthen our relationships in the communities where we serve.
