Two Connecticut teachers, including one from Danbury, have receive prestigious awards for Teaching Excellence.  Danbury teacher Luanelly Iglesias was recognized as the winner of NEA’s 2019 Human and Civil Rights George I. Sanchez Memorial Award.  It honors teachers who significantly advance equal opportunities for Hispanics.  She was selected for creating a bilingual program for students recently arriving in the United States and her efforts through family engagement to help students.  The Puerto Rican native, who teaches at Rogers Park Middle School, has had a 15-year career as a bilingual teacher.  Iglesias will be honored by more than 8,000 of her peers across the country during a national ceremony in Houston, Texas, in July.
