CLASP Teaching Award for K–12 Educators
The CLASP Teaching Award for K-12 Educators was established to recognize excellence and innovation in the teaching of Latin America and/or the Caribbean among elementary, middle, and high school teachers. CLASP proudly honors teachers who have displayed continued dedication to presenting their students with an engaging and dynamic portrait of Latin America that goes beyond the textbook.
Where possible, we are also pleased to share curriculum developed by the winners.
We invite teachers and administrators to view the 2025 Call for Applications for the CLASP K-12 Teaching Award for more details. Application deadline: February 25, 2025.
The CLASP Teaching Award for K-12 Educators is conducted on an annual basis.
