Grant Writing 101
An online course exploring how to research and write grants for your classroom and school projects, facilitated by National Math Foundation Program Manager, Kirby Schoephoerster.
Grant Writing is something most teachers have to do...but they aren't always sure where to start.
Let us guide you through the process.
Are you looking for a unique professional development training in grant writing? Look no further than our Grant Writing Seminar. The seminar is in partnership with the National Math Foundation.
Teachers will learn how to identify possible grant opportunities, develop a grant proposal, and submit a grant. Teachers will also receive four PD credit hours and a certificate in grant writing from the National Math Foundation/Math & Movement.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the entire grant writing process!
Why We Created This Course
The process of writing educational grants can seem daunting, but it shouldn’t have to be difficult, especially for teachers!
The information and case studies shared during this presentation come from a combination of 6+ years of first-hand grant writing experience within the PreK-12 education space as well as first-hand accounts and stories from educators who have taken up the role of “grant writer” at their respective schools.
