The California Casualty Awards for Teaching Excellence are unique: in addition to being recognized for excellence in instructional and professional practice, awardees are nominated by their peers or their NEA state affiliate for their dedication to the profession, community engagement, professional development, attention to diversity, and advocacy for fellow educators.
