Past Winners: 

Cathy Cabral- 2022

Silver Spring School

East Providence, RI

“I love what I do because my students are enthusiastic to learn and to share their experiences with me. It is gratifying to see them become successful learners. I have made connections with my students and families that last long after they have left my classroom.”


Francisca Sylvia Lima- 2021

International Charter School

Pawtucket, RI

“It is so rewarding to see a language learner using his/her native language to make sense of his/her second language. I love when my former students come to visit us and demonstrate their appreciation for being at ICS. It is wonderful to see the benefits that dual language education brings to their future.”

Laura Faria-Tancino-2022

“Once you work with adult students and you see the commitment, drive, and desire for excellence that they bring to each class, as a teacher - you cannot show up with anything less than your A-Game!”


Carolina Bisio- 2021

“Learn as much as you can about your learners. By considering our learners' funds of knowledge, we can help our students become active, motivated, and successful learners.”


David Buchalter- 2020

“I love teaching the way I love oxygen: it sustains me. Since teaching and learning are mutually constitutive, being a teacher means being a learner, and I love learning! That’s why I love what I do.”
