Grants & Service Activities

[2a] Funded: 

June, 1993 - June 1995: $245,000 award. Principal Investigator for the Idaho US WEST TEAMS* (Teacher Excellence Appropriate for our Multiethnic/Multicultural Society) Initiative for State of Idaho. 

As Director, I: (A) coordinated the statewide efforts for the grant, (B) was the Regional Coordinator for the Southern and Eastern areas of Idaho, and (C) was responsible for the grant activities at Idaho State University.

Activities included:  presided over Statewide Executive TEAMS* meetings; presided over the Regional TEAMS* meetings; planned and hosted two statewide teleconferences on the topic of multicultural education (Fall, 1993; Fall, 1994); planned and hosted two Spring Multicultural Conferences for Idaho; developed the course “Diversity Issues in Education for Idaho,” broadcast on the Public Broadcasting System (Fall, 1993); worked with the representatives of the six four-year degree granting institutions, the State Department of Education Bilingual Division, the State Department of Education National Diffusion Network Division, and the State Department of Vocational Education; developed a statewide survey, the Human Diversity Needs Assessment, used with undergraduate and graduate students to determine their assessment of needs in the area of multiculturalism; worked with various projects to increase knowledge for teachers in the area of multiculturalism; planned activities for recruitment and retention of ethnic minority students into the field of teaching, such as the Idaho State University Student TEAMS*; created coursework for students attending Idaho State University in the area of multicultural education; and managed the budget for the entire project.

            1986- 2016: Visiting Author Series: 

The budget for this annual event (previously known as the “Visiting Author Conference”) began at approximately $2,000 annually and is currently between $6,000–$7,000 annually dependent upon the author’s fees. This activity was begun as a way to familiarize populations in Southeast Idaho with children’s literature by ethnically diverse authors and illustrators and others focusing on diverse populations. As founder and chair of the series, it is my responsibility to raise funds for this event from a variety of sources as well as to contact the authors and make arrangements for the actual event to take place. In November, 2002, we were notified that the Bellon Foundation has agreed to provide a donation for the event each year and in January, 2008 that they had endowed the series with a gift of $73,000.  The conference is now known as “The Bellon Visiting Author Series.”

      Other sources for funding in the past have included the US WEST Foundation and the National Education Association Student Program to the ASISU grants programs (1986 - 1997), as well as annual contributions from the College of Education, Idaho State University, of $500.00, Southeast Idaho Reading Council of $100.00, and Delta Kappa Gamma of $50.00. Bookselling and other activities are used to raise additional funds.
