October 2, 2008
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — A University of Montana professor has received a $10,000 teacher development grant from the McCarthey Dressman Education Foundation.
Professor Heather Bruce is director of the UM-based Montana Writing Project. The grant, which is renewable for three years, will fund the project's initiative to help implement Indian Education for All in Montana's schools.
Through the initiative, Bruce will work with a group of teachers to help create a curriculum that helps improve students' reading, writing and research skills while learning about American Indians.
