Each year, the USA Embassy CES schools honour one of the schools' Directors of Studies, and a member of their teaching staff, with an award.
David Tipmore, Director of Embassy CES Fort Lauderdale, writes:
It's my pleasure to announce the 2007 selections for Teacher of the Year and DOS of the Year. The races for both awards were highly competitive and the results came down to the wire.
DOS of the Year 2007
It's a tie! Leslie Lott, Director of Studies in Fort Lauderdale, and Greg Bartels, Director of Studies in New York, were the dead-heat winners. Leslie and Greg received special mention from their peers for their improvements to the academic delivery in the US and their support of colleagues. Congratulations, Leslie and Greg. You are the winners of a trip to the TESOL 2008 convention.

Embassy CES in the USA Teacher of the Year 2007
Having achieved favorable comments for his past work in the Embassy CES New York school and his present performance in Embassy CES San Francisco, Chris Barrett is the clear winner in this category. Besides the range of his teaching expertise in Taipei and in the US, his work developing TOEFL test materials with ETS and Princeton Review, and his magazine and travel writing, Chris has shown himself to be a team player both in and out of the classroom, helping with activities, assisting with curriculum development, and providing excellent support for John LoGrasso, his Director of Studies. Congratulations, Chris! You are the winner of a trip to the TESOL 2008 convention. Honorable mention in this category: James Kyrouz of Embassy CES Boston.
My personal thanks to Leslie, Greg, and Chris, for their contributions to the academic excellence of Embassy CES USA.
