In-district Technology Grant due June 15, 2016

We are happy to announce that WFEE has made another contribution to PowerED UP, which allows us to send out another round of in-district technology grants!!  

These will be due on June 15, 2016, after which we will blind score, and then order and set-up the equipment.  All equipment will be ready to start the new school year.  

This in-district grant process allows us to get more equipment in the district, provide more professional development for everyone, and support a collaborative environment where colleagues are sharing with each other (and amassing evidence for Standard IV of the evaluation).  

If after reading through all of the attached documents, you have any questions, please email Jennifer Elineema (jelineema@winchesterps.org).  

Please submit the grants to:  http://goo.gl/forms/rhA39OG0T4UgQ85k1 .  

IMPORTANT

• No grants will be accepted through email, hard copy, etc.  

• Grant requests MUST be submitted through the Google Form
  (this allows us to make sure that none are lost in processing and that none of the people blind scoring will see the grants ahead of time).  

• Based on funding, please keep in mind that requesting a "class set" of anything will not be awarded.  

• Based on feedback we have: 
• changed the submission process
• streamlined the form
• attached a sample
• and are encouraging people to apply as a grade level or team.  

• We also want to emphasize that we do not expect the grants to be lengthy (1-2 pages).

• Most people are asked to do no more than 6 hours of professional development (which can be delivered during half-days, summer workshops, faculty/dept/grade level sharing, common planning time sharing, helping an individual colleague, presenting on tech night, etc.).
