Innovative Classroom Projects
The Innovative Classroom Project program enables EUSD teachers to apply for up to $500 to carry out uniquely creative and effective projects that benefit student learning. Teachers leverage the funds significantly, making equipment last over multiple school years, sharing the project with colleagues, and applying for other funding. Applicable for any grade and any subject, grants have gone to teachers in all 23 schools over the years
The purpose of the grants is to encourage innovative learning experiences for students. The selection committee reviews the proposals anonymously and will award grants to the most promising proposals. Not all applicants will necessarily receive funding.
The Foundation's goal is to raise more than $10,000 each year for this program, so that more than 20 teachers and approximately 600 students can benefit.
