We applied for the Fund for Teachers Grant. It is a grant that is specifically for travel to grow professionally. There have been quite a few grants given to teachers across my school district. Some travel to other countries to learn another language to help with instruction even. There are examples online and a team of teachers at my school got together and wrote it. The link is www.fundforteachers.org if you're interested. It was the first grant I helped to write and it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Dawn

The only problem is we have not been accepted yet. When we called they said that there were so many applicants this year that it is taking them awhile to get through them all. Does anyone know of anything that would be comparable just in case we don't get in? We are still trying to remain positive but want to have a backup plan just in case.
