Washington, D.C. -- Former Norman resident and University of Oklahoma graduate Lester Claravall, head of the Oklahoma Department of Labor Child Labor Unit, is being honored by the cable industry for his commitment to improving education in his community. Cox Communications and Cable in the Classroom, the cable industry's education foundation, has announced that Claravall has been chosen as a finalist for the 2008 Cable's Leaders in Learning Awards. The annual awards program, now in its fourth year, recognizes educators, administrators and other community leaders at the forefront of innovation in education. Finalists are eligible for a national Cable's Leaders in Learning Award, which includes a $3,000 prize, an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., and a June awards ceremony and gala in honor of the winners at the Library of Congress. Applications were received from across the country for the 2008 Cable's Leaders in Learning Award. Claravall is one of 44 finalists selected from classroom educators, administrators, college faculty and community leaders nationwide. Claravall is being recognized in the General Excellence category for creating "Paying Attention Pays," to protect working minors. It is an interactive game, created by the Department of Labor and Department of Education, played in schools to teach teenagers about their workplace rights before they begin jobs.
