STEP 1: Brainstorm Brilliant Ideas

Before you start typing away on your application, take a moment to let those creative juices flow. Scan your curriculum, think outside the box, and brainstorm project ideas that could make a real difference in student learning. Please note that projects should focus on areas other than meals, entertainment, salaries, furniture, or transportation.

STEP 2: Collaborate or Go Solo?

Feeling inspired? Now, it's time to chat with your fellow educators. Collaborating can strengthen your application, so team up if you find kindred spirits in the staff room.

STEP 3: Connect with your principal

Next stop: your school administrator's office. Share your enthusiasm and project vision. Ask if there's funding available from your school, PTO, or Booster Club. It's all about covering your bases and exploring every avenue of support.

STEP 5: Compare with the Rubric

Our Programs Committee will use a rubric to assess your application, just like the ones you use to assess your students. Compare your application with this rubric to ensure you're hitting all the right notes. It's like having a cheat sheet to ace the game!
