Every day, outstanding educators bring EL Education's vision to life in classrooms and schools across the country—engaging students in work that is challenging, adventurous and meaningful so that learning and achievement can flourish.
The Klingenstein Teacher Award and Silverberg Leadership Award were established to celebrate this exceptional teaching and leadership. Each year, two educators are selected—a teacher and a school leader—who exemplify the spirit and values of EL Education and give voice to the hundreds of wonderful educators in the EL community. The awards are bestowed annually during the EL Education National Conference.
