The Kemper Foundation announced today it has awarded grants to
50 bilingual literacy schoolteachers in the Dallas, greater Los
Angeles and Miami areas. This is the third round of grants awarded
through the Foundation’s Read Conmigo program since the program
launched in 2022.
Read Conmigo grants are focused on strengthening bilingual
literacy skills and improving learning opportunities for Latino and
Hispanic students. The Kemper Foundation awards up to 100 grants of
$3,000 each in two grant cycles annually to public and charter
school educators of elementary Spanish-English bilingual
classrooms. The grants can be used for classroom resources, tools
and materials, and professional development.
Recipients were selected based on their submitted applications,
which were reviewed by a panel of Kemper Foundation principals and
Foundation partners, including the Bilingual – ESL Education
Association of the Metroplex and the Florida Association for
Bilingual Education.
“Since the inception of the Read Conmigo grant program, our aim
has been to provide much-needed support to well-deserving teachers
and their bilingual classrooms, to have a positive impact on
education,” said Barbara Ciesemier, President of The Kemper
Foundation. “The feedback we’re getting from our award recipients
is that, with help from the grant, they’re seeing gains in both
formal and informal metrics and assessments of their students. We
couldn’t be more pleased with this outcome.”
Originally launched in the greater Los Angeles area in 2022, the
program expanded to Broward, Miami-Dade and Dallas counties in late
2022.
