CILC is pleased to announce
The CILC Pinnacle Award

This new award, presented annually, is based on teacher evaluations submitted through the CILC website and recognizes outstanding performance by a content provider.

Each school year, the scores of ALL of program evaluations for each content provider are averaged. The score is derived from 7 questions which have numerical value and which drive the star rating system on the CILC website.

Congratulations to the winners for 2007-2008 school year!
