About this resource

Forty-seven blank award certificate templates, delivered as both a PDF and an editable PowerPoint file, give teachers one printable certificate per superlative-award category, each with blank lines for the student's name, the teacher's name, and the date. A companion five-page reference guide, ordered to match the certificate set, describes roughly three dozen award categories in a sentence or two each, from 'Future World Traveler' and 'Class Entrepreneur' to 'Most Empathetic' and 'Class Inventor,' suggesting which student traits or classroom behaviours each award is meant to recognize. Several award descriptions reference real public figures as aspirational comparisons or direct award-title inspiration, including a teacher named after Jaime Escalante, an athletics award referencing Michael Phelps, and an environmental-advocate award titled after Al Gore.

Teaching tips

Use the five-page reference guide to match each of the roughly three dozen award descriptions to a specific student before selecting the matching certificate from the 47-item set.
Distribute awards at an end-of-year or end-of-term celebration, since the certificates are personality- and behaviour-based rather than tied to a specific unit or subject.
Review the award descriptions in advance, since a few reference real public figures by name (for example, an 'Al Gore' environmental-advocate award), and confirm they fit your classroom's norms.

Skills covered

Certificate personalization — teachers select a fitting superlative award for each student and fill in the name, teacher, and date fields on the matching certificate.
