Deborah Van Duinen, Associate Professor of Education, recently received a $2,500 award from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation Youth Literacy Grant Program. The project is titled Big Read Lakeshore: Improving Adolescents Attitudes Toward Reading.
With this award, participating English teachers in The Big Read who work with students reading below grade level will receive curricular/instructional support to increase their students’ self-concepts as readers and the perceived value of reading.
Congratulations, Deborah, on your new award!
Soooooooooo deserved!!!!!!!
