Candyce Carter and husband Nick in Heidelberg, Germany
The Northern Nevada International Center is proud and pleased to announce that Candyce Carter, journalism teacher at McQueen High school in Reno, has been chosen to receive the 2009 NCIV Phyllis Layton Perry Educator of the Year Award.
Ms. Carter was nominated by Dr. Carina Black, Executive Director of the NNIC, who says:
“For the past decade, Candy has been the first person the International Center’s International Visitors staff has thought of, when looking for a school to host a group of international visitors. Candy eagerly prepares her students for each IVLP visit. She also includes the school’s administrators as well as other teachers in her efforts and therefore assures complete success of each visit.”
The Educator of the Year Award includes a $1000 check for Ms. Carter to advance her work at McQueen, roundtrip airfare and a four-night hotel stay. The award will be presented to her at the NCIV National Meeting on February 11-14 in Washington, DC.
