Teacher Innovation Mini-Grant Application
Stanton Community Partners is now accepting proposals for the Spring 2024 Teacher Innovation Mini-Grants Program!

These grants fund new and inventive projects at E.M. Stanton School that excite and motivate children to learn; enhance classroom curricula; facilitate creative, project-based learning; embed social-emotional learning into academics; and promote community/school partnerships.

Past Mini-Grants have funded hands-on learning opportunities,  built out classroom libraries and supplied students with better technology - but, all innovative ideas are considered!

The maximum grant award of $500, but applicants can contact SCP if a project amount exceeds this amount, and SCP may choose to waive the cap on a project-by-project basis. Teachers are also encouraged to collaborate!

Please keep in mind that, as a general rule, funding is not provided for: 
(1) Anything which should be paid for by the Board of Education; 
(2) District staff salary or stipends; or 
(3) Equipment, supplies, materials that are not part of an innovative or creative project. 

Lastly, note that teachers will be either reimbursed or SCP will directly pay for the program/initiative.
