What are Teacher Innovation Grants?
Innovation grants provide classroom teachers with monetary resources to explore creative ways to help students learn.
When is the deadline?
Midnight on Sunday, April 21, 2024
Who can apply?
Any certified classroom teacher in the Gunnison Watershed School District may apply.
What can I ask for?
Typically, each applicant may request up to $500 for their innovative idea. However, collaborations of two or more teachers my apply for up to $500 per teacher.
The intent is for teachers to have latitude in developing their ideas. We encourage teachers to:
Develop original ideas or programs that enrich core curriculum and are replicable.
Experiment with ways to solve specific instructional challenges in your classroom.
Create projects that require collaboration between you and other classroom teachers.
Develop a project that facilitates parent or community partnerships.
Replicate a proven strategy you haven’t yet used in your classroom.
If funded, what do I have to do?
Complete your project as written in your grant proposal.
Submit an online report at the end of your project, or no later than April 15th in the year of your funded project.
Submit photographs from your project for use on the GVEF website and in marketing materials.
