2009 LEADERS FOR LEARNING AWARD GRANTS

The Leaders for Learning Award was created by the Licking County Foundation in 1993 to honor and recognize public school teachers who exemplify excellence in their fields.  Each year, teachers from every school district in Licking County are selected by their principals and superintendents for their belief that all students can and want to learn; for their desire to make a significant difference in students’ lives; for their commitment to professional development; and for their outstanding classroom skills and leadership. 
 
The Leaders for Learning Award is a lifetime recognition award:  recipients can apply for $500 grants to further their professional development or purchase materials for their classrooms.  This award is made possible through generous support by the Lindorf-Warner Memorial Donor Advised Fund of the Licking County Foundation. 
 
Here are the most recently awarded grants:
