Grants, Grants, and more Grants
Just last week I was doing some research on finding ways to fund a project I'm planning. As we all know, funding, or the lack of funding, can be problematic for all teachers. In this day & age, budgets are tight and focus is directed at training for technology integration and incorporating the Common Core State Standards into school curriculum. It's common knowledge that teachers are encouraged to be creative in their classrooms, but unfortunately, creativity costs money.
Have you ever heard of Edutopia? It's a great resource for all things education -- the tag line reads, What Works in Education. Another interesting fact about Edutopia is that it is a George Lucas Educational Foundation. Yeah, that guy. Anyway, I receive regular emails from Edutopia and last week they sent out a great article entitled The Big List of Educational Grants and Resources. Some of the grant submission deadlines have passed, but some are still live and some have rolling submission which means you or your students have lots of time to submit a proposal. Take a look at the list. Sign up to receive emails from Edutopia. It's win/win for you and for your students.
