CHICAGO' The Kemper Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Kemper Corporation (NYSE: KMPR), has officially opened applications for the new Read Conmigo School Impact Grants aimed at supporting dual-language education programs in Dallas and Hidalgo Counties. This initiative comes in response to the growing need for robust bilingual education opportunities, especially in Title I elementary schools where the majority of students are from low-income families.
The Read Conmigo School Impact Grants are designed to build upon the successful Read Conmigo Educator Grants programme, which provided vital financial assistance to educators in enhancing their bilingual instructional strategies. The newly introduced School Impact Grants aim to foster a more comprehensive approach to bilingualism within the school environment, allowing educators to create a more inclusive learning atmosphere for their students.
With the increasing diversity in our classrooms, it is essential that we equip schools with the necessary tools and resources to effectively support bilingual students, stated Angela Kemper, Executive Director of the Kemper Foundation. We are committed to fostering a rich educational landscape that embraces both Spanish and English, enabling our students to thrive in an ever-evolving global society.
The Kemper Foundation is particularly focused on facilitating dual-language programmes that promote not only academic achievement but also cultural competence among students. Schools that implement these programmes will be eligible to apply for funding to support curriculum development, professional development for teachers, and educational materials that promote both languages.
Interested schools can find more information and apply for the Read Conmigo School Impact Grants on the Kemper Foundation's official website. The response to the initiative is expected to be significant, as schools across the regions prepare to harness additional support for their bilingual education efforts.
As of the latest report, Kemper Corporation boasts 64.65 million shares outstanding, with a current stock price of $64.61, indicating a strong market position that underpins the foundation's ability to extend its philanthropic reach.
The introduction of the Read Conmigo School Impact Grants represents a significant leap towards creating equitable opportunities for bilingual students in Texas, ultimately aiming to improve educational outcomes and foster a more bilingual workforce in the future.,
