HP Innovations in Education Seeks Proposals From Secondary School Districts

 

 Deadline: March 30, 2009

 

 The 2009 HP Innovations in Education grants for secondary school  districts
in the United States will provide funding to school  districts working to
launch innovative pilot initiatives that  support administrators and
teachers responsible for student  success in math and science in middle
and/or high schools.

 

 HP plans to award approximately twenty-five grants to public or  qualified
private school districts. Each grant is valued at more  than $270,000 in HP
technology, cash, and professional development. Projects must promise
innovations in leadership capacity  (creating a network of school
administrators and key teachers who  implement innovative approaches to
curriculum, instruction, and  the use of technology to enhance math/science
learning), digital  learning environments (this can include innovations in
online  learning, virtual worlds, gaming for learning, and simulations),
the secondary student design and research experience (making math  and
science real and relevant by involving secondary students in  design and
research challenges that address society's real needs;  this can include
local and/or global service learning), and high-tech career awareness
(engaging administrators, teachers, and  students in ways that increase
awareness and interest in high-tech college degree programs and careers).

 

 The program is open to any U.S. public or accredited private  school
district or school system that serves at least two thousand secondary school
(grades six through 12) students. Only one  proposal per district will be
accepted. Proposed projects should  include innovations that enhance
learning in pre-engineering,  math, science, and/or computer science.
Projects must involve  one or two school sites and include the district
administrator,  the IT director who serves the faculty and students across
the  school district, a local school site administrator for each
participating school site, and up to eight classroom teachers (from  one or
two school sites) who will be using the technology for  teaching one or more
of the eligible disciplines.
