CNUSD Teacher Receives American Literacy Corporation Award

Tracy Hualde, Teacher on Special Assignment for the ELOP Program, has been awarded one of the 2021-2022 "Outstanding Contributions to Literacy" awards by the American Literacy Corporation. This award will be presented at a virtual celebration reception held on November 6, 2022. 

The American Literacy Corporation (ALC), a nonprofit organization, annually grants $2,000 awards to selected teachers and certificated support personnel in grades Transitional Kindergarten through eighth grade. These are enthusiastic teachers who create an environment of success, where students are excited and motivated to learn. These outstanding teachers serve as leaders in their own schools, districts, and communities. Winners also receive a $500 grant to be used for a school-wide literacy event or literacy support materials. Winners who submit a letter from their local California Reading Association chapters also receive a grant for $500.00 for their chapter. 

ALC was founded in 1992 by the late Dr.Jo Stanchfield, Professor Emeritus at Occidental College, to recognize and reward outstanding teachers who significantly increase the literacy level of their students. More than 225 California teachers have received this award since that time.
