"FOOD FOR THOUGHT" GRANTS FOR TEACHERS The focus of this new grant program from the Wake Education Partnership, a local education fund, is to support teacher professional development at the classroom level. Collaboration is essential to every proposed project. This implies partnerships among teachers, businesses, community groups and/or higher education. Educators within a grade level, as well as educators across grade levels, are encouraged to collaborate. Professional development is also essential to every proposed project. All proposals must show evidence of teacher growth and development as a professional educator. The teacher must emerge from the grant process having gained and developed professionally to further the achievement of his/her students. Each proposal must align with the school improvement plan at the applicant's site. http://www.wakeedpartnership.org/grants.htm -- This is the CPS Science Teacher List.
