The Candace Bos Innovative Project grant winners were honored at the DLD Conference in Pittsburgh. The Candace Bos Innovative Project Grants support teachers and support personnel of students with learning disabilities as they develop creative projects to enhance instruction, curriculum, action research, and service delivery. DLD allots a yearly total of $5,000 for support, funding individual projects from $100 to $1,000. This year’s recipients came from Kansas, Texas, Florida, and Colorado. The winning projects were: Career Awareness and Employability is a transition
program for students with learning disabilities. Although these students
are employed, they are often underemployed in part-time entry-level jobs.
This program will provide training that is crucial to the process of selecting
obtaining, and maintaining employment. Supports for Success for Multisensory Structured
Language Learners is a program for students reading below grade level.
The program can be adapted throughout the four high schools in the district.
Classroom learning centers will facilitate the small group reading instruction.
Students will also learn to subscribe, order, and use recordings from
Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic. Lessons in Human Rights and Dignity is a language
arts project for learning disabled students. The focus of the project
is the lessons learned in human rights and dignity while studying the
story of Anne Frank. Students will be able to visit a Holocaust Museum
and participate in a “Unity” Multicultural Assembly. Basal, Waterford, or Saxon: Which Program Enhances
