The Learning Innovations Golden Apple Grants
The Golden Apple Grants are unique in their ability to capture the character of Miami Dade. I encourage you to read through the summaries, to be reminded yet again of the open-ended possibilities between teachers and students.
Of course, the creativity of the grant proposals point to the people who develop them. Our faculty members are an invaluable resource. They give MDC its unique character of dedication and innovation.
Congratulations to the Golden Apple grant recipients for 2006, and to all who submitted proposals. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
