Description
This grant provides financial support to elementary, middle, or high schools for in-service mathematics education. The goal is to enhance mathematics instruction through high-quality professional development tailored to the specific needs of each school. Eligible proposals must outline a comprehensive professional development plan focused on mathematics content, detail the anticipated impact on teachers and students, and describe how activities will improve teaching and learning outcomes. While the grant encourages the integration of technology into professional development, it does not support the purchase of technology or equipment.
Eligible expenses include honoraria and expenses for consultants, materials, substitute teacher time, and registration for conferences or workshops. The grant is organizational (not for individuals), and all activities must be completed by August 31 of the following year after the award.
