I am proud to announce that I received the Two-way California Association for Bilingual Education 2009 Promoting Biliteracy Award at the 17th Annual National Two-way Bilingual Immersion Conference in Monterey, CA on July 8, 2009.

The award says that it was bestowed... "For the years of advocacy, scholarship and research in support of English Language Learners and second language learning opportunities for the students of California! We are grateful for the expertise and leadership you have provided the field of Bilingual Education and for the amazing ability to engage the general public in intelligent discussions on the education of linguistic and ethnic minority populations!"

I am gratified and humbled for this recognition and thank the Two-way CABE Executive Board and membership for this award.

I also received the Award for Excellence in Research and Scholarly Activity on February 1, 2002 at the 27th Annual CABE Conference in San Jose, California. The award reads, "In recognition of your informative website and resources regarding relevant issues facing Bilingual Education."
