| Description | IN THE 2012-2013 SCHOOL YEAR, LTEF AWARDED GRANTS TOTALING 184,175 FOR 41 INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF TEACHING AND LEARNING IN THE LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT. THESE INCLUDE 46,000 TO TRANSFORM THE LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY INTO AN INVITING AND COLLABORATIVE LEARNING SPACE. IMPROVEMENTS THERE INCLUDED THE CREATION OF A FLEXIBLE WORK SPACE FOR COLLABORATION AMONG STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND GROUPS. IT HAS ALSO ENCOURAGED CASUAL READING WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY INSPIRING STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO LEARN. DESK TOP COMPUTERS HAVE BEEN RELOCATED THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT AND A NEW LAPTOP CART HAS BEEN PURCHASED. A "POWER BAR" HAS BEEN ADDED TO ALLOW STUDENTS TO CHARGE THEIR PERSONAL DEVICES. THESE CHANGES HAVE RESULTED IN A 73% INCREASE IN CHECKOUTS, A 55% INCREASE IN OVERALL USAGE OF THE LIBRARY SPACE, AND A 76% INCREASE IN DATABASE USAGE. 2012-2013 MARKED THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ORGANIZATION. IN CELEBRATION OF THIS MILESTONE, SPECIAL 20TH ANNIVERSARY GRANTS OF 5,000 WERE AWARDED TO EACH SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT. THOSE GRANTS SUPPORTED PROJECTS RANGING FROM GARDENS AND OUTDOOR CLASSROOM ENHANCEMENTS TO NEW AUDITORIUM PROJECTORS AND SOUND SYSTEMS. 103,175 WAS USED TO SUPPORT 33 OTHER GRANTS IN AREAS OF THE CURRICULUM INCLUDING MATH, SCIENCE, MUSIC, ART, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, TECHNOLOGY, LITERACY, HEALTH AND WELLNESS. ONE PARTICULAR GRANT THAT HAS MADE A LASTING IMPACT WAS TITLED "WLMS: NEWS STUDIO ON THE MOVE." THIS ENHANCEMENT TO THE DAILY MORNING SHOW AT LAWRENCE MIDDLE SCHOOL HAS IMPROVED THE QUALITY OF THE PROGRAMMING, ALLOWED STUDENTS TO BE PART OF THE SHOW ON A DAILY BASIS AS THEY WRITE, EDIT, AND RECORD ALL OF THE INTERESTING AND EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING AT THEIR SCHOOL. THE GRANT HAS DIRECTLY AFFECTED EVERY STUDENT IN THE BUILDING WITH A DRASTICALLY IMPROVED MORNING PROGRAM WHICH INCLUDED THE DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS, STUDENT RECOGNITION, THE WORD OF THE DAY, AND MONTHLY ACTIVITIES SUCH AS RECOGNIZING FAMOUS AFRICAN AMERICANS DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH. THE FUNDING HAS ALLOWED ADDITIONAL CURRICULAR PROGRAMMING, THE ABILITY TO HOLD PARENT AND EVENING MEETINGS THROUGH CABLE ACCESS, AND FURTHER PROMOTE THE SCHOOL BY QUALITY AND PROFESSIONAL VIDEO PRODUCTION. | Description |
