Thank you to all of our members and guests that joined us for the 2019 Conference and Awards dinners! We were thrilled to have our organization together in the same place, exchanging ideas and promoting continuation education. You are what makes CCEA special, and we hope to continue to grow and support educators across California.
It is with great pleasure that we honored our Model Schools on April 26th, and our Professional Awardees on the 27th. Find out more about our 2019 Model Schools, awardees, exemplary programs and photo galleries, below.
