Candy Core was an education specialist at Region 4 Education Service Center (Region 4) who began her career as a devoted high school English/Language Arts and Reading teacher. She was a zealous educator who had a passion both for her students and her personal continued learning. Candy was taken prematurely from us but she left a gift—the Candy Core Endowment Fund—for future educators. It was her wish to foster the professional growth of new English/Language Arts and Reading teachers.
Candidates must meet the following criteria:
