Chevron awards teacher innovations

What is going on in the classroom has become so important to Chevron that this year it upped the yearly amount of its Chevron Teacher/Classroom Grants from $20,000 to $35,000. Forty-two grants ranging in amounts from $250-to-$1,000 were awarded to 37 teachers from 30 different public schools in Kern, Fresno and Monterey counties where Chevron has facilities. Among the 37 who received the grants on Aug. 7 at the Chevron Energy Center in Bakersfield were five teachers from the Kern County Superintendent of Schools' (KCSOS) Special Education Services. Four of the five teach severely handicapped children and one, Delmy Jones, teaches behaviorally-challenged students at Aurora School in Bakersfield. The other KCSOS teachers are Pam Beavers, Kevin Crosby and Marie Walker, who all teach at Sunset School in Bakersfield, and Gaylene Roberts who teaches at Centennial Elementary in Bakersfield. More
