CAS Send
a Teacher to Canada Scholarship
2007 WINNER: Kindra Kilgore,
Park Place Middle School, Monroe, WA
The CAS Academic Committee has
awarded a WA State Teacher a $300 scholarship to attend the
Study in Canada Summer Institute for K-12 Educators,
plus a one-year CAS Individual Membership ($40 value).
For more information and
curriculum:
http://www.k12studycanada.org/scsi.shtml
Here's what Kindra reports: "Without a doubt, my
experience with the K-12 Study Canada Summer Institute was the most
rewarding class I have ever taken. Not only did I leave with more
curriculum and lesson plans than I could ever teach in a year, but I had the
opportunity to meet some of the most amazing people as well. I couldn't
wait to share my experiences, not only with the staff at my school, but also
with my students. I know that I now have the tools to make the study of
Canada come alive for them this year. I would recommend this class to
anyone that teaches about Canada."
