Dear
teachers,
Thank you
for attending NECTFL! We hope you enjoyed your time in New York and found it
instructive. We are pleased to announce that for the first time ever, an
Italian teacher was nominated and selected as a NECTFL Finalist for Teacher of
the Year! Michael Kowalczyk, from Bishop George Ahr High School, in Edison, New
Jersey (FLENJ) was selected to receive this honor. Michael was first selected
as Teacher of the Year in his home state of New Jersey, which propelled him to
the national level. We are thrilled that he was nominated, and we hope that you
and others will continue to nominate and encourage teachers of the Italian
langauge!
We are
also pleased to announce the winners of two scholarships that were chosen
during the conference from Centro Studi Italiani and Accademia Italiana.
