Grants for Excellence in Teaching (GET)
Apply for money to help fund a classroom project. The only catch is you have to share the project, including created materials and resources, here on this website for other teachers when you are done, as well as possibly present the project at a Springboards conference or contribute to ELA Today. Fill out the application form which will be sent to the Executive for approval. Afterwards, the Executive will review ALL applications and determine the recipients for that year. Recipients will be notified by email, and they will receive a portion of their funding when school resumes after the Christmas break, along with a letter of acceptance in which the recipient agrees to all of the terms, conditions, and criteria listed below, as well as the protocols for completion of the project. Final payment will occur upon completion of the project and submission of all receipts, materials and resources. Deadline is the first week of December, just after QPAT convention.
