The eventual hoped-for result would be a new kind of school . . . Each team will receive a grant of up to 500 dollars to cover research expenses such as they purchase of teacher or student resources, wages for classroom support personnel, or conference fees.
Grants are available for a wide spectrum of action research projects.
The Progect must involve two or more teachers from the same staff or specialists for the same jurisdiction working on a problem relevant to student learning. The school will provide support by arranging for joint planning time for Project teacher and covering substitute salary for one participating teacher to attend two school-day workshops. Learning Network will provide substitute salary for a second teacher to attend and will pay mileage for one vehicle to the workshops. Teachers participating i the Project will need to commit one saturday for a third workshop. Participants will present their project orally and in deaft written form at a symposium workshop in June and will present their final written report at the end of August.
