Rewards for innovative literacy programs
Are you doing something innovative in your classroom? If so, you may be eligible for a future grant from the International Reading Association (IRA). The IRA have begun an exciting new project titled, 1000 Lights for Literacy.
This project aims to support teachers making positive changes at the classroom level by providing yearly grants to support the implementation of powerful literacy practices and programs.
The IRA will fund this project with donations and hopes to raise $1 million dollars this year. With the interest generated from the endowment of this money, the IRA will provide grants of $10,000 or greater to drive literacy programs anywhere in the world.
To be eligible you must be a current member of the IRA who has created an “amazing and bold literacy program” which is implemented at the classroom level.
Full details of the grants process are not yet available, so you’ll need to watch for continuing updates about how to apply.
