The National Association of Bilingual Education has named Irma De La Guardia, of Harry C. Withers Elementary School, the 2015 Teacher of the Year. The third-grade dual-language teacher became the state winner in the Texas Association of Bilingual Education competition last fall, which qualified her for the NABE award.

Originally an auditor in Mexico City, De La Guardia and her husband moved to the Dallas area nearly 15 years ago. A career change through Alternative Certification led her to the Dallas ISD a few years later.

In 2007, De La Guardia was recruited to Withers to help start its dual-language program. In 2013-2014, the Multi-language Enrichment Program instructional coaches named her Dallas ISD’s Teacher of the year nominee for the Bilingual/ESL Education Association of the Metroplex.
