Applications Available for 2001 LAEP Excellence Awards

Focusing public education on excellence in Los Angeles public schools, the Los Angeles Educational Partnership (LAEP) will honor outstanding teaching teams, schools, and school communities next Spring in the third annual LAEP Excellence Awards. The awards recognize and reward the effective efforts of educators and community members and promote educational practices that can improve student learning.

Recipients of the LAEP Excellence Awards are selected based on their proven effectiveness with students and their excellent practices used in the classroom, at the school site, or in the community. Award winners are selected from those applicants who best exemplify the California Standards for the Teaching Profession and can document student progress and achievement.

The awards were developed by LAEP with the funding and support of the Ahmanson Foundation. More than 100 educators, school administrators and parents whose team efforts demonstrated exemplary educational practices in pre-K through 12th grade were honored in the first two years of the program. The winning teams were awarded framed plaques as well as grants of up to $10,000 at a recognition dinner at the Los Angeles Inter-Continental Hotel.

"The LAEP Excellence Awards reflect our belief that excellence in education requires accomplished teaching, well-managed schools, and strong connections between schools and their communities," said Susan Way-Smith, LAEP president and CEO. "The Awards aim to support and foster improvement in public education in each of these areas."
