Chino Valley school district wins Golden Bell award
The Chino Valley Unified School District was honored in the 29th Annual Golden Bell Awards program hosted by the California School Boards Association.
The award was won in the Instruction category for Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence approach under the direction of Tracy MacArthur, Principal at Country Springs Elementary. Mike Harrell was the former principal of Country Springs.
Country Springs Elementary School has implemented Howard Gardner's "Theory of Multiple Intelligences" into its instructional practices by working with Dr. Sue Teele from the education department at the University of California, Riverside. The approach has helped the students master curricular content at each grade level in a mode most conducive to their preferred learning style.
The highly respected Golden Bell Awards were presented at a special ceremony during CSBA's Awards Luncheon at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego Hotel, on Saturday, Dec. 6. The event was held in conjunction with the California School Boards Association's Annual Education Conference.
The CSBA Golden Bell Awards program promotes excellence in education in recognizing outstanding programs in school districts and county offices of education throughout California. The Golden Bell Awards reflect the depth and breadth of the education programs necessary to address students' changing needs. The goal of this awards program is to contribute to the development and evaluation of curriculum, instruction and support services.
