21st Century Skills Initiative Students need a new set of skills for their future - 21st Century Skills. Rote memorization is OUT. Thinking, planning, collaborating, communicating and being creative are IN. Schools are becoming "real world" where real life skills are developed daily. Knowledge is power, but it's how knowledge is used that really makes the difference. The goal of DEF's 21st Century Skills Initiative is to help our local schools transform into 21st Century Schools developing 21st Century Students! 21st Century Skills Grants DEF awards 21st Century Skills Grants in amounts up to $2000.00. First, download the Grant Application Guidelines for all the details. There are important steps you must take before submitting your on-line grant application. Grant applications can be submitted on-line via the DEF website at anytime. The Dare Education Foundation Grant Committee meets four times per year (September, December, March, June) to review grant applications and make awards. Grants cycles follow the academic year, are considered on a first-come, first-served basis, and are awarded based on merit and availability of funds. Applications should be submitted to the Dare Education Foundation in time for project completion within the academic year the application is submitted. 21st Century Skills Best Practice Awards Annually, DEF awards $1000.00 to every school for teacher training that directly targets the integration of 21st Century Skills. Best Practice Award Applications are sent to every principal on or before July 15 of the academic year they are to be awarded. |
