Getting Grants - Several new opportunities

Have you checked out the Getting Grants section of the MSP2 Resources box recently? We're always adding new grant opportunities for teachers and schools (some examples below).

NASSP/MetLife Foundation: Breakthrough Schools
The National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) and the MetLife
Foundation are calling for entries in the search for the nation's top
"Breakthrough Schools." Applicants should be high-achieving middle or
high schools, or schools that are making dramatic improvements in student achievement,
whose best practices and outstanding results can inform other schools as they
further their own improvement efforts. Honorees will be chosen based on
documented success in implementing strategies aligned with the three core areas
of NASSP's Breaking Ranks II publication: collaborative leadership;
personalization; and curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Maximum award:
$5,000. Eligibility: high-achieving middle and high schools with 40 percent or
more students eligible for free and reduced priced meals. Deadline: May 15,
2010.
