The nominee must be in the same district for at least 3 years. S/he must have demonstrated clear and consistent support of World Language Programs. Some examples include: implementing a FLES program, supporting exchange or travel abroad programs, offering a variety of languages, making public reports, statements or presentations in support of World Languages, or advocating for World Languages in other ways.
Please submit the name, email address, phone number, and work address for the nominee. Also include your contact information.
The application should be accompanied by two (brief) letters of recommendation; one from a NYSAWLA member and one from another person. The application should also list the ways this person has supported World Languages in the past and currently. Other artifacts may be included, but are not necessary.
NYSAWLA Teacher Leadership Award
These past few years have brought on many changes to our programs as well as our departments. As a result, we felt this was an opportune time to recognize leadership exhibited by the teachers in our departments. This is the second year we will be offering an award to recognize a teacher who has assumed leadership responsibility in some manner during the school year for the department, school and/or district.
