| The Three Grant Types |
-
Technology Leader Cohort (TLC) Program for Teachers and Administrators – TLC grants will be funded for school district teams to participate in this statewide leadership development program. Awards will support a coordinated program which includes online and on-site learning, equipment, and related expenses for several school district teams. Additional review points are possible for well designed consortium proposals composed of teams from multiple districts and/or large districts, as well as proposals that extend the work of the 2010 NML Early Adopters group. Also encouraged are proposals that involve undergraduate faculty from a NH educator preparation program. The program includes teacher stipends, an iPad for each administrator, choice of an iPad or 3 iPod Touches for each teacher on the team, and online and face to face events. Program content must focus on helping teachers and administrators to acquire expertise with the use of media literacies to support digital age learners in all content areas. We anticipate awarding grants to support up to 20 school teams sponsored at no more than $10,000 per team.
-
Classroom Technology Mini-Grants will be funded for school teams to participate in this statewide program to provide school teams with digital tools, strategies, and related support for project based learning activities to advance student learning. Additional review points are possible for those teams new to the mini-grant program and for proposals which involve multiple schools across multiple districts (such as a 5th grade project occurring collaboratively in 3 different districts). Also encouraged are proposals that involve undergraduate faculty from a NH educator preparation program. School teams may apply for up to $10,000. Districts may apply to sponsor one team per school to either replicate an exemplary mini-grant project or propose a new project. [Please note that although districts may submit proposals for more than one school, it is likely that awards to a greater number of districts will be prioritized over awards to multiple schools in some districts.]
-
One grant for a Digital Resources Consortium will provide funding to one district acting as coordinator and fiscal agent to work with multiple districts (part or all of the state’s districts) in planning for and acquiring digital resources to support a 21st century learning environment. Up to $200,000 will fund a Digital Resources Consortium grant, awarded in two phases.
As the project work unfolds during the grant period, additional funding, if available, may be used to provide further support for these initiatives.
