WCTE wishes once again to honor an
educator with the Lee Burress Intellectual Freedom Award at the
Annual Convention. This award recognizes an educator who has
been an advocate for expression free from censorship and for
humane communication. It
is designed to acknowledge the work done by educators who teach
and extol the tenets of free speech and who urge responsible,
humane and caring communication.
Such work may be demonstrated in particular lessons,
special projects and the ongoing style and goals set by an
educator. It was
begun in honor of Lee Burress, a long time educator at
UW-Stevens Point, who exemplified these attributes in his life
as well as his teaching. Those wishing to nominate a possible
recipient for this award should write a letter of nomination,
describing the qualifications of the nominee.
This letter should be sent to John Zbikowski, Department
of Curriculum and Instruction, UW-Whitewater, 800 West Main St., Whitewater, WI 53190 or via e-mail to
zbikowsj@uww.edu
by May 15. Please
include any supporting materials you believe would strengthen
the nomination. All nominators will be notified of the status of their nomination. The recipient will receive the award at the WCTE Convention in Milwaukee, October 23, 2009. |
