Daceus’ innovative teaching idea, “We ‘AR’ Reading Ninjas,” is a literacy initiative that will be implemented in the current school year. The Voya grant will be used to purchase the STAR/AR computer program that helps develop students’ reading skills. Daceus hopes that through the integration of the new computer program purchased with the Voya grant, students will cultivate a love for reading by being incentivized and celebrated for reaching literacy goals.
