146 Teachers Win Grants for Innovative Techniques
Cash grants have been given to 146 local teachers to put their ideas for innovative classroom techniques into practice.
The $200 “anniversary grants” were awarded recently by the Los Angeles Educational Partnership, a group of business and civic leaders who are working to bring private-sector resources to the public schools.
Among the winning projects this spring are “Cultural Appreciation Through Music and Dance,” by Linda Mendez of Granada Hills High School; “The Body Beautiful,” a health education program for second-graders by Judi Haase of Meyler Street School in Torrance, and “Videotaping Literature Classics,” for grades four through six, by Pamela Myers of Atwater Avenue School in Los Angeles.
Since 1984, the partnership has awarded grants of up to $800 each to more than 2,000 teachers in Los Angeles County.
