Innovative Teaching Grants

Providing direct support to teachers who create innovative teaching opportunities in their schools and classrooms

Innovative Teaching Grants

ITG Grants are open to all teachers in the district who want to create exciting new ways to teach that will engage students and increase learning. Ways that are imaginative, innovative, outside the box, and that foster new ideas and support diverse learning styles within the classroom.

The immediate goal of Innovative Teaching Grants is student engagement during the current school year. Long-term, these programs have long-term benefits in math, literacy, technological growth, and relationship building. Items utilized by students and teachers can be reused and shared throughout the school and/or the district when possible.

We will send an announcement to all TTSD staff when the next application is open. Teachers, keep an eye on your inboxes!
