PSMLA News Update: 2018 PEP AWARDS
ANNOUNCING
THE 2018 PSMLA EXEMPLARY PROGRAM (PEP) AWARDS SHOWCASE!
In honor of the national “2005 Year of Languages”, PSMLA began an initiative to identify and to honor exemplary PA high school foreign language programs. The resulting PEP Awards program encourages all PA high schools (public, parochial, private, and charter) to submit evidence so that PSMLA may publicize and Showcase truly exceptional programs! The two-year PEP awards may be earned at four levels: Globe Award, Bronze Globe Award, Silver Globe Award, or Golden Globe Award-based on criteria developed by PSMLA.
There are 29 schools in the PEP Showcase this year: ten 2018-2019 awardees and nineteen 2017-2018. Please extend CONGRATULATIONS to the following PEP Award Schools:
