Summer 2011 Teacher Training Scholarships
NCBIDA is pleased to announce that during Summer 2011, we will once again be offering scholarships for training in multisensory structured language education (MSLE) approaches. We will be distributing a number of partial scholarships for trainings in the Bay Area this summer.
Scholarships are only awarded for training programs that adhere to the principles outlined by the International Multisensory Structural Language Education Council (IMSLEC) and the Orton-Gillingham Academy. In addition, training courses must contain a practicum that gives trainees the opportunity to apply what they are learning during the program.

In awarding scholarships, we are looking for the "multiplier effect." That is, we strive to fund multisensory language education for those teachers who will reach the most students over the length of their career. For this reason, first priority for scholarships will be given to classroom teachers, especially those working with children in grades K-2. However, educational therapists and other professionals are also encouraged to apply. After completing the training program, scholarship recipients are asked to conduct a teacher in-service at their school (or for a group of other professionals), highlighting what they learned in their summer training program, with the goal of encouraging other teachers to seek out MSLE training.
Applications postmarked by Saturday, April 30, 2011 will be given first priority. Later applications are welcome and will be considered until all funds have been granted. Please be aware that there are two separate processes: 1) applying for and enrolling in a teacher training course and 2) applying for a teacher training scholarship. Time is critical with both, as spaces and funding are limited. Proof of enrollment in one of the eligible courses is required in order to apply for one of our partial scholarships.
Scholarship recipients will be notified by the end of May if they have been awarded a scholarship. Please see the time-line below for further details.
