Funding for the "Good Ideas" Grants has been derived from the OCEA budget.

Grants will be awarded for the following purposes:
_____ 1. To develop a teaching unit or strategy for classroom use.

areas of expertise; this may be school-based or multi-school-based.
_____ 3. To create materials that would serve as prototypes for classroom
instruction, (i.e. technology.)
_____ 4. To design and teach courses for other teachers in which they receive
credit for re-licensure or placement on the salary schedule.
