AWARD NOMINATIONS
CABE invites you to submit candidate applications for Administrator of the Year, Teacher of the Year, Pareducator of the Year, and Parent of the Year, as well as applications for the Seal of Excellence School Awards. This is an opportunity to honor individuals in each category for their excellence, dedication, cultural sensitivity, high expectations for English learners, and the promotion of bilingual education, and to recognize schools that have established effective programs for English learners and dual language learners.
