eTech Grant Opportunity: Grades 9-12
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007
By way of eTech Ohio:
“eTech Ohio is seeking applications for competitive professional development grants in the amount of $20,000 each to teachers in grades 9-12. These grants will support the creation and use of electronic portfolios (ePortfolios) in Open Source Portfolio (OSP).
As part of this two-year grant, school building(s) within a district may apply for up to $20,000 with a plan for utilizing ePortfolios to integrate technology and support state academic content standards. At most, one building per district may be awarded a grant.
Grant information, including the Request for Proposals, is available online at http://www.etech.ohio.gov/go/CompPD. For questions or more information, please contact Sandra Paxton.
There are a handful of qualification requirements and applicants must have the support of several individuals in the district (specific roles).
I encourage interested teachers to consider applying. Keep in mind, that $20K is bound to attract several applicants. You’ll need to think creatively and follow the RFP guidelines to the letter in order to stand out to the grant readers.
If you’re interested, contact your tech coordinator and/or district’s curriculum specialist to begin setting the wheels in motion – this is also helpful to avoid competing applications from the same building. As always, I’m glad to assist in this process as well, so contact me too!
