Grant Evaluation Criteria
The new EdUCate! Teacher Grant process is intended for items valued at $200 or more.
As you think about your idea or project, keep in mind the following criteria with which we will evaluate your proposal:
Number of students impacted: A grant affecting 10 students would not rate as highly as one affecting 100.
Degree of impact on the students: The educational value and improvement offered over already available resources.
Longevity of the project: Workbooks that last just one year would not rate as highly as materials that could be used over 5-10 years.
Practicality: Measures whether the project is realistic and 'do-able', or likely to suffer from problems like lack of training, difficulty of coordination, etc.
Cost effectiveness: The cost per pupil or the “bang for the buck.”
Innovation: Is your proposal a new or creative solution to a common problem? Are you thinking “outside of the box”?
Collaboration: The degree to which the grant involves or promotes collaboration and cooperation among different classes, grades, or schools.
