Wallace A. Bacon Lifetime Teaching Excellence Award
NCA Awards for Outstanding Teaching
The Wallace A. Bacon Lifetime Teaching Excellence Award was created by the Legislative Council in 1991. The Lifetime Teaching Excellence Award provides an opportunity to recognize outstanding teaching by retired NCA members at any grade level from kindergarten through graduate, NCA members who are not currently engaged in full-time teaching, and/or NCA members who have demonstrated a long-term commitment to teaching. The Bacon Lifetime Teaching Excellence Award was also designed to recognize that a lifetime of outstanding teaching should be encouraged and recognized.
