The NCTE Outstanding Educator in the English Language Arts Award, proposed by the Elementary Section Steering Committee in 1995, recognizes a distinguished national or international educator who has made major contributions to the field of language arts in elementary education.
The Elementary Section Steering Committee determines the winner based upon each candidate meeting the following criteria:

- made ongoing contributions to the field of literacy
- obtained national and/or international influence in literacy teaching and learning
