The Pennsylvania Education Innovation Awards, initiated in 2017, recognizes innovative leadership in public school board governance, administration and teaching. Presented annually at the PASA-PSBA School Leadership Conference, this awards seeks to recognize innovative leadership in public schools through three categories:

• Innovative School Board Award – recognizing a school board that has adopted an innovative approach to its responsibilities and led the district to exceptional performance.
• Innovative School Leader Award – recognizing a school superintendent, assistant superintendent, curriculum supervisor or building-level administrator who has demonstrated an innovative approach to leading their district, building or program.
• Innovative Teacher Award – recognizing a teacher for their innovative approach to teaching and classroom leadership.
