Yes, it’s important to have others read and edit your proposal before submission. The following are people who BCPEF suggests read your proposal before submission: Education Family Committee member - The Education Family Committee Representative from your school, or one you may know outside of your school, is an excellent person to read your proposal. The Education Family Committee Representative are the ones scoring and reading teacher grants, so they can give you guidance on whether your proposal follows the rubric and on how to improve your proposal to achieve a higher score. Non-educator - There are many words and abbreviations specific to the education field. Therefore, having someone who is not an educator read your proposal will show you how easily it can be understood (or) to avoid jargon. If your proposal is well written and clearly defined, a non-educator should be free of confusion when reading it, meaning the evaluators will also understand your proposal. Your Principal - What’s written in your proposal will be taking place at your school. Therefore, you should give your principal ample time to read your proposal to make sure tthey are comfortable with what you are proposing to do in your classroom or throughout the school. Additionally, your principal will be another important editor, who can make sure you mention all the proper proposal pieces specific to your school and system.
