A Partial Lighting of WaterFire
Celebrating Educational Excellence in RI
.
An Awards Ceremony and Torch Procession will honor Rhode Island Educators
.
Education Commissioner Angรฉlica Infante-Green and the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) will once again honor Rhode Island educators for their outstanding service and dedication to the education profession and their students. The award ceremony and torch procession which will recognize district teachers of the year and educators identified for excellence in their content areas will begin at 4:00 p.m. at the Basin Stage next to Station Park. This is a celebration in partnership with the XQ Institute, the nationโs leading organization dedicated to rethinking the high school experience, which will host an array of activities nearby throughout the day next to Station Park. The dayโs festivities are part of an ongoing partnership between XQ Institute and RIDE (XQ+RI) and will include an interactive, self-guided education data wall, live music, art+activism installations, the renowned Inside Out Photobooth Truck, and a forum for the public to share community feedback about how Rhode Island can invest in high school transformation.
