Tamara Kirson has been named the winner of The New York Times 2009 ESOL Teacher of the Year program. In naming Ms. Kirson, who is lead instructor and staff developer of the Adult Literacy Program at The City College of New York, the selection committee of ESOL advocates noted her creativity in integrating civic activities when teaching English, the extraordinary success of her students and her collaborative efforts to improve the Literacy Center. “The New York Times is delighted to recognize Tamara Kirson for her outstanding work in the ESOL adult education field,” said Diane McNulty, executive director, community affairs and media relations, The New York Times. “She and our other honorees shine a spotlight on all ESOL instructors and the important work they do helping students succeed and making our communities better.” Now in its third year, the ESOL award program recognizes instructors who have consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help students learn English and develop the skills to create successful new lives in the United States.
