Soliciting Monies for Education
Great teachers are always looking for new ways to expand their instruction and engage their students. Innovative teaching is important--but it can be expensive. Luckily, there are a wide variety of sources available for funding educational initiatives. Find and learn how to write 'viable' Grants for your classroom.
Many parents and businesses are willing and prepared to provide resources that will enhance educational opportunities for their students. Classroom donations can be solicited in ways that dramatically increase the monies received. Learn how to maximize classroom donations.
Education and Travel are enriching experiences all on its own. But with a grant or scholarship, educators not only get to explore an interesting place or topic; they get to bring that valuable experience back to their own classrooms. If you’ve ever wanted to travel to historic sites, interview experts, research alongside field professionals or even learn an artisanal craft, travel grants and fellowships can make your goals a reality.
Seminar currently available June 15-16 2020 via Alpine School District accredited through SUU
