Digi-Block Announces Call for Kohlberg Grant for Professional
Development Proposals
Deadline: Rolling
Digi-Block, Inc. ( http://www.digi-block.com/ ), a developer of
math education materials and the Digi-Block program, is accepting
grant applications for professional development workshops led by
Harvard mathematician and Digi-Block founder, Dr. Elon Kohlberg.
This first-time grant is open to all educators focused on mathe-
matics in pre-K to grade six.
Kohlberg's presentation covers a comprehensive examination of
whole numbers, from place value and number sense through the
development of algorithms for all four operations. Kohlberg also
examines why so many young children encounter difficulty in
learning math and how roadblocks to understanding affect their
future success in mathematics.
Up to ten grants will be awarded during the 2007 calendar year.
Applications will be considered as they are received. Early
applications will have an advantage, as available dates will
fill quickly. Applicants are not required to have experience
with Digi-Block. Workshops will take place in the 2007 calendar
year (spring, summer, or fall).
The grant application form is can be found on the Digi-Block Web
site.
