The Montclair State University Network for Educational Renewal is offering the MSUNER Teacher Incentive Grant for the 2011-2012 school year.
The purpose of this grant is to encourage teachers to enhance student learning. To accomplish this, a teacher can experiment with new teaching strategies, improve skills, develop a class project, etc. This grant is for a teacher who would like to work on a specific short-term project. All you need is an idea. Here are a few examples to start you thinking:
• Using Music and Movement to Embed Learning
• I’m an Entomologist
• Using Film Study to Enhance Literacy Instruction
• Wii Academy
• Fun with Fractions
Projects will be funded in the range of $100 – $200, depending on the project. Funding may only be used for resources. The grant will give you a chance to try out a new initiative. If you think about it, you try out new ideas every year. Why not take this opportunity to receive some funding for your idea.
