For 11 years, Fund for Teachers, the Boston Public Schools and BPE have partnered in making professional development opportunities possible for BPS teachers through a competitive grants process. Teachers decide what it is they need — as individuals or as teams of teachers — to invigorate their teaching, inspire student learning and enrich their academic community.
Through a rigorous application process, teachers compete to have their ideas funded. In the 11 years of the Fund for Teachers program in Boston (including this year), 428 grants to full-time BPS teachers have been funded at over $1.5 million. This summer, 33 teachers will embark on significant learning expeditions, including to sites as varied as Columbia’s Teachers College, Italy, or Vietnam.
For more information on the program and how you might participate, call 617-275-0709 or email dengler@bpe.org.
See the complete list of awardees. Congratulations to all 33 BPS teachers!
