Awards

Each year, the Louisiana Association of Teacher Educators honors practicing clinicians with the Distinguished Clinician Award. Nominees must be current or former cooperating teachers who demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of professional educators. Each postsecondary institution that grants degrees in teacher education may nominate one clinician in each category.
