Two School Winners of "Best Practices" Grant

Coaching to Inclusion, a local yearly conference, organized by members of boards in South Western Ontario celebrated 10 years at its past event. In order to celebrate, a new award to support inclusive practices in the school was established. The intention was to support and provide sustained follow up of the professional development that has been provided in one/two day workshops for the past 10 years.

There were many excellent proposals received and in the end the following schools were provided the funds:

$3,000 to St. Martin Catholic Elementary School in London for their grant proposal entitled Differentiated Instruction in the Elementary Classroom: Learning, Evaluation, Monitoring and Implementation of Assistive Technology in the Inclusive School Setting.

$1,000 to John Paul II Catholic Secondary School in London for their grant entitled Broadening the Perspective So Each May Learn.

Congratulations to these 2 schools and thanks to all who sent in proposals. It showed the team that inclusion is alive and well!
