[Scott, Rick, PED]

TEACHER DEVELOPMENT GRANTS

The McCarthey Dressman Education Foundation believes that continuous,
insightful and innovative professional training and growth is crucial to
the effectiveness of educators. It is the Foundation's goal to promote
best practices through cooperative and sustained commitment to increased
efficacy, improved teaching and active learning. As such, the Foundation
values proposals aimed at concurrently boosting student understanding
and proficiency and instilling a passion for lifelong learning. 

The Teacher Development Grants provide funding to individuals or small
teams of teachers in the formation and implementation of groundbreaking
k-12 classroom instruction. The grants provide opportunities for
teachers to integrate fresh strategies that encourage critical inquiry
and to observe their effects on students. Teachers have the opportunity
to reflect and write about their projects, as well as to share their
results with other teachers. The Foundation awards grants to individuals
in amounts up to $10,000 per year for a maximum of three years, provided
the eligibility requirements continue to be met.

ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT GRANTS

The McCarthey Dressman Education Foundation offers Academic Enrichment
Grants designed to develop in-class and extra-curricular programs that
improve student learning. The Foundation considers proposals that foster
understanding, deepen students' knowledge, and provide opportunities to
expand awareness of the world around them. 

The Academic Enrichment Grants provide funding for programs that nurture
the intellectual, artistic and creative abilities of children from
low-income households. The McCarthey Dressman Education Foundation
awards grants to individuals in amounts up to $10,000 per year for a
maximum of three years, provided the eligibility requirements continue
to be met.
