Applied Learning Grant applications for teachers

 

After a hiatus for a year or two, our Applied Learning Grants are back! We have $15,000 to grant to Oak Harbor teachers this grant cycle. Applications are due prior to Jan 16th. We are looking forward to seeing your projects. If you have a project outside of the budget maximum go ahead and submit it, depending on the # of requests we may be open to it!

​

GRANT PURPOSES:  

The purposes of this grant are to improve student learning through the hands-on application of WA state and/or National subject area standards and to develop partnerships with parents and community members.  All projects must be completed by the end of the 2023-2024 school year.  Grant recipients will be expected to provide pictures of their project activities by June 2024 and to present their project to the public at the OHEF Banquet for Education event in October 2024. 

 

APPLICATION COMPLETION:

This grant application is scored based on the Project Based Learning Six A’s rubric below.
