DISTINGUISHED PROGRAM AWARD IN TEACHER EDUCATION



Now accepting nominations for 2007-08!

 

The R. Neal Appleby Outstanding Teacher Educator Award is given each year by the New York State Association of Teacher Educators (NYSATE) to the teacher educator who possesses and exhibits characteristics by which his colleagues and friends remember Neal Appleby.  Neal was a Renaissance man who loved people, ideas, activity, and teaching.  He was a teacher educator who strove for the education of the whole student.  He was truly concerned with each student as a person.  Neal was a happy, warm, friendly, caring person who took time to talk with people; perhaps more importantly, he took time to listen.  His students spoke of him as that special kind of person who deeply loved teaching and who conveyed that love of teaching to all with whom he worked.

The award recognizes a person who has worked to nurture the intellectual, personal, and professional growth and development of teachers at various stages of their professional lives.  It is dedicated to the ideals by which Neal Appleby lived life as an educator of the highest order.
