The C-FB ISD Educational Foundation, as well as the
businesses and individuals who support it, believes that
innovative and creative approaches to teaching can benefit
C-FB ISD students. To this end, the Foundation developed the
Grants-To-Teachers Program. This program, with its emphasis
on innovative projects and creative teaching approaches,
provides funding, not otherwise available, up to $3,000 for
projects which have a potential to enhance student learning.
In 2010, the Educational Foundation awarded $31,771.16 in

Teachers in the C-FB ISD interested in applying for a Teacher
Grant may download an
application form
.
Please note that each portion of the application has been given
a value. This not only gives you an idea of how the committee
will consider your application, but also allows the committee to
more equably evaluate it.
The
Grants and Scholarships Committee's goal is to select projects
for funding which are innovative and stimulate students'
learning and creativity by enhancing the existing curriculum.
To ensure anonymity during the selection process, the committee
members will not have access to applicants' names. For
this reason, please do not refer to the name of your campus
anywhere within the application. Consideration will also be given as to how compatible the project is with the goals and objectives of C-FB ISD and whether or not the application reflects advance planning and preparation. Expenses for consumable and single events must be justifiable. The Foundation will not fund routine field trips, food or monetary awards to students.
Projects funded are evaluated to determine the successful achievement of the stated objectives and to consider the possibility of replication for other schools. The evaluations of the funded projects will be provided to the Board of Directors of the Educational Foundation. This information will be shared with school district personnel.
