HEF Grant for Intensive Study

  Through the Grant for Intensive Study, HEF seeks to enliven and
improve the quality of classroom instruction, enrich children’s lives, and
contribute to the overall excellence of our schools. The Grant for Intensive
 Study is available to educators seeking to bring innovation and enrichment to their classrooms through intensive study of a specific aspect of the curriculum
or instruction.  Grants are awarded to support teacher initiatives that would
 not be possible in our schools without outside funding.  The Grant for
Intensive Study acts to encourage educators to expand, to be creative,
to take a risk, and affirms that teachers’ good ideas are supported
by the community.  Applications are due Friday, March 19, 2010.
