Grants To Fuel Teacher-Led Instructional Improvement Programs - David Nagel, THE Journal
The University of California, Davis School of Education is taking a novel approach to boosting K-12 teacher effectiveness--distributing grant money to small teams of teachers and letting them decide how they want to spend it. Using funds from a new $1 million grant awarded by the California Postsecondary Education Commission, a team from UC Davis, led by Joanne Bookmyer, director of teacher research at the Cooperative Research and Extension Services for Schools (CRESS) Center, will distribute grants of up to $30,000 to teams of three to five K-12 teachers, who will determine for themselves what measures they can take to improve their effectiveness in the classroom, engage students better, and gain greater mastery of the subject matter being taught.
