October 4, 2010 SAU #44 School District (Northwood, Nottingham, and Strafford PRESS RELEASE Candace Lord honored during “Parent Involvement in Education Month” in NH Concord – Candace Lord, Behavior Specialist at SAU #44 was recognized at a ceremony held October 4th in Concord for her extraordinary contributions to family-school partnerships in NH with a certificate of appreciation from Dr. Virginia M. Barry, Ph.D., Commissioner of the NH Department of Education, and Kevin Lew-Hanson, Executive Director of the Parent Information Center of NH. Candace is one of over 50 educators, parents and community groups recognized statewide this October the NH Parent Involvement in Education Month Initiative, which has been declared by Governor John Lynch and which highlights the central role that parents play in the academic success of their children. Study after study shows that the single biggest factor in student achievement is parent involvement and, according to researchers, students of involved parents are more likely to get better grades, be promoted, finish school and go on to higher education. This and other research can be found at www.nhparentsmakethedifference.org. Many parents, educators and community organizations make contributions on a daily basis to help assure all of our children succeed with a 21st century education. Candace was honored in particular for her work with students with Autism. She coordinates and communicates with each teacher and parent, to help them understand what students on the autism spectrum need and how to best help them learn. Her students score higher than any other group of students with disabilities on the NECAP, largely due to Candace’s intense and personal work with them. Candace started and coordinates a parent support group for parents of children with autism. She volunteers her time to work with the families, arranging for speakers and supporting the needs of the parent in the group. Candace, a North Hampton resident, works between three k-8 schools, Nottingham, Northwood, and Strafford. As a behavior specialist Candace proactively works with all students who need either periodic or prolonged support to be successful. She develops and provides behavioral supports to meet the needs of students and staff in the school settings. Candace also enjoys working in small social groups with children on the autism spectrum, where she provides Social Thinking therapy. |
