Distinguished Educators

The Distinguished Lasallian Educator Award is presented in Lasallian schools throughout the United States and Canada each year, by the Regional Board of Education of the Christian Brothers.  

The annual selection is made by nominations of the entire staff at DeLaSalle and is based upon the following criteria: 

• The recipient must be an educational minister in a Lasallian school for a minimum of five years and not received the award within the past ten.
• The recipient must work in association with the school community to foster Gospel values in the lives of staff and students.
• The recipient must see the Lasallian school as a place of educational excellence, which shares in the mission of the Catholic Church.

The LETA was established in 1995 by Diane Liemandt, through the Liemandt Foundation.  By vote of the teaching staff, the LETA is given annually to a DeLaSalle classroom teacher, to recognize outstanding accomplishment in the following areas:  commitment to the DeLaSalle mission; classroom management skills; care for students, respect and rapport; curriculum enhancement and advancements; innovative teaching strategies and effort; and participation in continuing education and personal growth.
