The Colorado Association of Bilingual Educators (CABE) held their annual recognition event on October 12. Two Jeffco employees received awards.
Diana Guevara Mondragon, an instructional assistant at Molholm Elementary, was named the 2018 Instructional Assistant of the Year. She began working at Molholm a week after she moved here from Honduras, where she served as a teacher. She works with K-6 students but is known for her talent with kindergarten and first graders.
Catherine Baldwin-Johnson received the 2018 Educational Leader of the Year award. Catherine is the director of the ESL/Dual language department. She has worked with linguistically diverse students and educators in a variety of capacities for the last three decades. She began as an ESL teacher in other states, then came to Jeffco where she has built up language education Programs (ESL and dual language, preschool through adult) for 24 years as a teacher and administrator.
Congrats to both! You make us proud!
