The success of any educational initiative, whether it be implementing a new curriculum, introducing a new teaching method, or integrating technology into the classroom, hinges on the professional development of its teachers. When time and effort are spent designing professional development that supports skills growth, encourages consistent application of learned methods, and empowers educators to go beyond their comfort zones, students benefit.

Spend some time in an engaged classroom and you will most likely hear the buzz of teacher and students’ voices, multiplication tables being explored, pencils and crayons slide-tapping across paper, and a variety of devices whirring in the background (printer, tablets, 3D printers, science equipment, etc.). The classroom can be an incredible and dynamic space of active learning, but for some it can also be a cacophony of sound that makes learning difficult and communicating a challenge.

District, schools, and other local education agencies (LEA) oftentimes work with limited resources and budgets. Decision-makers and educators have become adept at locating education funding opportunities. For example, Grants.gov is a valuable resource for finding a variety of federal grants that can be searched by category, eligibility, and agency. For an improved opportunity of winning an award or grant, it is critical that decision-makers note key information such as requirements and deadlines, as submission dates vary throughout the year.
