Title I schools that meet these rigorous criteria receive the Title I Academic Achievement Award (AAA) at the annual State Title I Conference. As a result of their accomplishments, awardees are also encouraged to serve as models for and provide support to other schools, especially those Title I schools identified for Program Improvement. National Title I Distinguished School Awards Each year, the National Association of State Title I Directors present up to two National Title I Distinguished School Awards per state. The awards go to the state Title I AAA school that has the greatest percentage of students at or above the proficient level for AYP in English-language arts and mathematics and to the Title I AAA school that made the most progress in closing the achievement gap among numerically significant subgroups. Individual Award/Recognition Programs California Teachers of the Year Each year, five teachers are selected to represent the state's teachers, motivate and inspire other educators, and champion the positive contributions of the teaching profession. These teachers are honored at a State Board of Education ceremony and a special recognition dinner. One of the five teachers is chosen to represent California in the National Teacher of the Year Program. Candidates for the honor are submitted by county offices of education, which conduct regional competitions. Primary sponsors of the program are the Associated General Contractors; California Laborers Union; Apple Computer, Inc.; California Teachers of the Year Foundation; California State Lottery; California Teachers Association; California Masonic Foundation; GTECH; Harcourt Educational Measurement; National Semiconductor; Pearson Educational Measurement; Scholastic, Inc.; Sacramento Kings; SMARTerKids Foundation of Canada; Wells Fargo Bank; California Association of Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association—Central Valley and Northern San Joaquin Valley Chapter; and Toshiba Electronic Components, Inc.

Family Foundation. State departments of education assist in various aspects of the program in accordance with foundation guidelines.
