On behalf of the HAABE Executive Board, I would like
to welcome you to the 31st Annual Bilingual/ESL
Teacher of the Year Banquet.
HAABE’s main purpose is to recognize excellence in
teaching. We realize that teacher appreciation is an
important component in schools that promotes the
achievement of linguistically diverse students.
Inevitable, there seems to be a correlation between
teachers who feel valued and their students
performance. HAABE recognizes that teachers who
feel valued tend to have a positive effect in their
students academic performance. Ultimately student
achievement is the main driving force in our schools.
Bilingual and ESL education is more than a privilege;
it is a necessity for the new generations who will be
competing for jobs in a global society. Bilingualism
and bi-literacy is a lifelong asset that benefits
everyone.
I want to thank everyone who made this celebration
possible: selection committee members, sponsors,
school districts superintendents, administrators,
principals, bilingual and ESL educators, scholarship
recipients, and our families. Thank you for believing in
our associations’ purpose. Please continue to support
HAABE so that we can continue to acknowledge our
outstanding bilingual and ESL teachers of the
Houston!
Sincerely,
María A. Cigala
HAABE President 2012-13
