Each year the ACETA program selects and showcases three teachers who have done exemplary work in preparing young people to become informed and engaged citizens. These honorees are full-time, K–12 classroom teachers, serving in public or private schools. ACETA recipients receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., to participate in an educational program that includes observing committee hearings in Congress, meeting members of Congress and other key officials, and visiting sites such as the National Archives and the U.S. Supreme Court. The teachers are also honored during an awards ceremony at a major civic education conference. 2011 ACETA Recipients Teachers from California, North Carolina and Michigan were selected for the 2011 ACETA honors.
