That person's name and supporting documents should be submitted to NECTFL's TOY Committee Chair, Arlene White at: 1705 South Mill Drive, Salisbury, MD 21804, by January 7, 2012. In January, the NECTFL TOY Committee will review all state dossiers and choose a regional winner who will be announced at the 2012 Northeast Conference. We encourage all states in our region to publicize this award which helps the profession to designate a spokesperson to carry our message to the wider public and serve as an inspiration to language educators. All guidelines, forms and application documents are available on the ACTFL website. Please see ACTFL TOY Application Guidelines here.
