Waterbury, CT — Waterbury Public Schools is shining a spotlight on educational excellence with the announcement of its 2026 Teachers of the Year.
Among those honored is Liridona Bizati of the International Dual Language School, a learning environment that reflects the diversity and cultural richness of the city.
In dual language programs, educators take on the added responsibility of bridging cultures while advancing academic achievement. It’s work that requires patience, adaptability, and a deep understanding of students’ backgrounds.
Bizati’s recognition highlights the importance of inclusive education and the role it plays in preparing students for a global society.
