The Pasco Education Foundation Creative Teaching Grants are for classroom projects that will enhance classroom instruction. All applications must address school and district goals, i.e. Sunshine State Standards and/or school improvement plans, and should motivate and encourage creative and innovative educational programs. Instructional materials funded by these grants become the property of the school/department in which the employee is employed when applying. Applicants are encouraged to submit multiple applications, however each applicant is only eligible to receive one grant award. |
A. Creative Teaching Grants may be funded to include: |
- Materials, supplies, books, special equipment, etc. for “special” classroom projects

- Special considerations deemed appropriate by the selection review committee

C.
In all cases, the decision to approve a request for allocation will be based upon the grant’s likelihood of improving student performance and/or having the greatest impact on students. Projects will be evaluated by the selection committee for the impact and potential success of the program. Additional consideration will be given to those projects that establish or involve local business partnerships. |
D.
Final evaluations, including a copy of receipts or purchase orders, will be required at the end of the project. Please return to the "Grants" homepage on this website to download a 2008-2009 Grant Evaluation Form. |
