From the organization Excelencia in Education at
www.EdExcelencia.org:
This terrific organization featured recently highlighted on Hispanic American Village (see previous
Navigating Higher Ed for Latinos post) is about to conclude its call for nominations for its 2007
Examples of Excelencia initiative, whose goal is to "identify, celebrate, and promote models, programs, and institutional departments that significantly contribute to improving educational achievement for Latino students in higher education."
The short version is: They are looking for recommendations of educational models and programs THAT WORK. They annually collect, spotlight, recognize, and support with awards examples of "programs and departments that are at the forefront in increasing academic opportunities and improving achievement for Latino students."
The longer version and a nomination form is here at the
Call for Examples of Excelencia. If you know about a great teaching model or program, share it with them by April 30!
