About Grants
We know that schools do not have the funding they need- especially in professional development. To address this need, we have compiled this ever-growing list of grants that can be used to purchase 2it On Demand Training subscription sets. The information listed here is for your reference and does not constitute an endorsement from 2it Education Solutions. Most grants listed do not specify SMART board training, but if it is listed, it can be used within the scope of the grant. If you know of other resources, please let us know so we can post it here and let other schools benefit.

Fund for Teachers Grants
K-12 teachers with a minimum of three years teaching experience as a full time teacher spending at least 50% of the time in a classroom or classroom-like setting, in an eligible area, can apply for this grant by designing a professional development experience. Eligible applicants may apply as an individual or as a team; the funding limit is $5,000 per person and $10,000 total per team of two or more. Applicants submit a written online proposal explaining how their experience will make them a better teacher and how the applicant’s improved skills or capacity will be implemented in the classroom, benefiting students, curricula and school. In addition, applicants should supply information as to how they will document experiences and describe, in narrative form, their proposed fellowship budget.

Purpose: Grants support public school teachers, public education support professionals, and/or faculty and staff in public institutions of higher education for participation in high-quality professional development experiences, such as summer institutes or action research.All professional development must improve practice, curriculum, and student achievement. “One-shot” professional growth experiences, such as attending a national conference or engaging a professional speaker, are discouraged. Decisions regarding the content of the professional growth activities must be based upon an assessment of student work undertaken with colleagues, and must be integrated into the institutional planning process. Grant funds may be used for fees, travel expenses, books, or other materials that enable applicants to learn subject matter, instructional approaches, and skills. Recipients are expected to exercise professional leadership by sharing their new learning with their colleagues.

The Maley/FTE Scholarship’s purpose is to support teachers in their preparation to increase the positive outcomes of technology education. Criteria include: (1) evidence of teaching success, (2) plans for action research, (3) recommendations, (4) plans for professional development, (5) the applicant's need.
