Your classroom must be networked by September 1, 1998. Preference will be given to teachers from schools that will have at least 75 percent of the classroom networked by December 31, 1998. Any of the projects here on Scholastic make great grant ideas. To make a case now is easier than ever before. Most grant programs require 30 percent of the funds to go to teacher training.
Most arts projects are inherently interdisciplinary.
Smaller grants work best for one classroom. Larger grants usually are best spent on everyone. If that's not possible, I try to write a project that is at least grade-level centered so that all students at a grade level could have the opportunity of the granted program and equipment by team teaching. We talked about the e-rate a bit at the top of the conference. Computers are not part of this program, but network servers are.
