Inc. a developer of math education materials and the Digi-Block
program, is accepting grant applications for professional development
workshops led by Harvard mathematician and Digi-Block founder, Dr.
Elon Kohlberg. This first-time grant is open to all educators focused
on mathematics in pre-K to grade six. Kohlberg's presentation covers a comprehensive examination of whole numbers, from place value and number sense through the development of algorithms for all four operations. Kohlberg also examines why so many young children encounter difficulty in learning math and how roadblocks to understanding affect their future success in mathematics. Up to ten grants will be awarded during the 2007 calendar year. Applications will be considered as they are received. Early applications will have an advantage, as available dates will fill quickly. Applicants are not required to have experience with Digi-Block. Workshops will take place in the 2007 calendar year (spring, summer, or fall). |

| Breaking
Down Barriers to Assistive Technology Grant from Premier
Assistive Technology, Inc. We are committed to providing you the
most effective and affordable assistive technology products available
in the world today. We established this grant program in 2002 to
help bridge the gap between education budgets and the need for educational
organizations to deploy sufficient resources to serve the needs
and requirements of special education programs. In this spirit,
the lowest level of grant awarded is for an entire school. (Grants
to individuals, single departments or "for profit" companies
are not awarded). This grant will give you the right to install
the suite of software on EVERY PC IN YOUR ORGANIZATION.This is truly
a grant. There are no current or future obligations for your organization
to pay any monies to Premier Assistive Technology to use the programs
for the versions being granted to you. After the grant period has
expired (all or part of a school year), there will be an optional,
but very nominal maintenance fee (a fraction of the total grant
value) that you can pay to entitle you to future product releases,
technical support, company communications, etc. Copyright (c) 2000-2008, the Foundation Center. |
