Teachers of children with disabilities have the best insights into effective teaching methods. However, they often face financial limitations, as funds from regulated tax dollars may not cover the costs of enhanced projects. Since 2002, the Special Education Foundation has been bridging this gap, providing support where tax dollars fall short.
The Classroom Innovation Grants program empowers teachers to develop and implement creative projects that make a significant impact on students with disabilities. By providing financial assistance, the Special Education Foundation enables educators to bring their innovative ideas to life, creating enriching learning experiences that would otherwise be unattainable.
These projects benefit not only the immediate classroom but also serve as models for replication in other educational settings, thereby amplifying their overall impact. Eligibility and Preferences : Projects should be innovative and capable of being replicated in other settings. The Foundation does not fund items that should be covered by public funds, such as books and equipment, transportation, or staff development.
Teachers are required to report their project results to SEF the following year by completing the Feedback Form. To increase your chances of being awarded a grant, read Helpful Hints for Applying and be a stand out to reviewers. Questions?
