Description
This grant, funded by the Mary Dolciani Fund and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), is designed to support professional development for high school (grades 9–12) mathematics teachers. The goal is to improve teachers’ competence in mathematics instruction and positively impact student learning. Proposals may include activities such as workshops, courses, or other professional development experiences—especially those involving technology to enhance student outcomes (though the grant does not fund technology purchases directly). The application requires a clear plan, timeline, budget, and evidence of school support.
