Loveday Foundation $1000 Grants For Innovative Teachers
These grants will be based on a creative, innovative, and original project to promote innovative activities to motivate students and to improve the teaching and learning process.
An innovative project is one that places the emphasis on the students and not the teachers. It should contain original and innovative ideas; should involve significant numbers of students; and it should have an impact which continues over time.
An innovative project is not one which has as its main focus teacher advancement, travel, or a teacher’s course of study.
