Funding, Idea Sharing Available Through Microgrant

WeAreTeachers announces a new microgrant, “Special Education: Individual Attention, Collective Impact,” sponsored by PCI Education. 

Share how your work, project or idea can make a positive impact for special education students.  All of the grant submissions will be published online, where members of the WeAreTeachers community will vote for their favorite project.  The 10 submissions that receive the most community votes will be awarded a $200 cash microgrant and a Flip Videoä camera to share the project in action.  Your project will inspire other teachers who collectively can make a difference in the lives of more students with special needs.

Grant submissions will be accepted through Oct. 31st.  To apply for this grant online, visit www.weareteachers.com.  Voting will begin Nov. 3rd, when the submitted projects will be posted online for community review, and winners will be announced Nov. 19th.

The microgrant is part of a new partnership between PCI Education and WeAreTeachers, an online network that brings together teachers, learners and content in the education industry.  The partnership provides the WeAreTeachers community with special education expertise, by offering teachers access to community support, idea sharing, product recommendations, and grant opportunities.

Through the PCI Education home page on WeAreTeachers, special education teachers can connect with one another, share best practices and interact with one another, as well as with PCI Education, to create a classroom culture that is up-to-date with the latest and best in teaching techniques and products.

In addition, WeAreTeachers offers members the opportunity to rate PCI Education products to help colleagues make informed purchase decisions.  Teachers can write and share reviews and implementation recommendations on products they are using in their classrooms.  Each review provides members with points that can be redeemed for charity contributions, gift cards or other classroom supplies.
