BCPS and PNC Grow Up Great with STEAM

Through support from PNC, Young at Art, Palm Beach State College, and South Florida Science Museum, teachers and students from Sunland Park Academy and the Pre-K Annex have been engaged in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) learning for the past two years. The partnership has included professional development, family fun days, family resources, STEAM Fairs, and classroom experiences. The two-year experience has culminated with the opening of a Pre-K STEAM lab at Lauderdale Manors Early Learning and Family Resource Center. The lab is designed to be a "science museum in the school" with hands-on opportunities for engaging, creating, building, and all out-science fun. GAGP staff worked closely with Dr. Lori Canning, Executive Director – Early Learning and Language Acquisition and her team to develop the proposal. Thank you, PNC for your contribution of $30,000 and for your continued support!

Google’s Educator Professional Development Grant

Google aims to provide funding for equitable, sustainable, and scalable solutions in Computer Science (CS) Professional Development (PD). BPCS has received a $28,000 grant from Google to create a CS PD program and Community of Practice (COP) for local middle grade teachers. In BCPS, students in approximately 45% of the middle schools have access to a full year CS course. Schools are realizing the need for additional CS courses to meet student demand. This PD and the implementation of Google CS-First clubs for additional CS experiences will help teachers engage students during middle school, closing the CS gap, and helping to feed the high school and advanced placement CS programs. GAGP staff worked closely with Dr. Lisa Milenkovic, Supervisor, STEM+Computer Science – Applied Learning and her team on the proposal. Congratulations Team STEM+Computer Science on wining the grant!

GRANT FUNDING NEWSLETTER

Grants are a powerful tool to enhance teaching and learning throughout our District. Please take the opportunity to have your grants showcased in one of our upcoming newsletters by submitting your photos with the subject line Grants In Action, and email your action photographs of activities associated with grant awards to grants@browardschools.com. This is another opportunity to acknowledge our grant donors for their support and to showcase the innovative learning experiences developed by our school based staff!

Name: Donna Haynes Position: Art Curriculum Supervisor K-12 Years of service: 3 (in current position) How many grants have you been awarded and what is the total dollar amount awarded? The “Art Reaching Today’s Youth (ARTY) Program” has received $33,500 in grants to implement our innovative artful program in 11 Title I elementary schools that do not have current art programs. We are awaiting responses for two major grants this month and are hopeful to receive additional funding from local community foundations. Which grant-supported project is your favorite? The “ARTY” Program. This non-profit program provides project-based art classes aboard converted school buses for Title I elementary schools that currently have no visual arts programs in place. The studio buses were the creation of Libby Hodges, an arts teacher at Tropical Elementary School, and a team of experienced teaching artist volunteers. What is your process for filling out a grant application? I have worked collaboratively with the Arty Van Gogh conceptualizer and art teacher from Tropical Elementary’s Libby Hodges and GAGP’s Rebecca Reichert-Cuffe, Senior Manager, Grant Programs to form the concepts of the ARTY Program and fulfill the writing and financial components of the grant applications. We meet often to target new ways to fund this amazing program. Have you discovered certain tips about grant writing that have been successful? I’ve been to break out sessions that focus on tips and grant writing. I think it’s important to get on committees that judge grants, so you can read multiple levels of grant writing. I also think it is good to work in teams to write a grant since everyone will have different strengths. For example, one team member may be good at financials and another maybe better at storytelling. Working in a team in collaboration can allow for multiple grants to be written at the same time.

TIP for the Day: Formula for a Perfect Grant Application

By Barbara Norris Coates on Apr 04, 2018 in Grant Writing in GetEDFunding Newsletter If you don’t know a lot about grant writing, you’re in good company. Over the course of my years as a grant writer, many of the educators I’ve worked with have admitted they don’t know what makes a “good” proposal and what constitutes a “bad” one. I use the following formula for laying the groundwork for a fundable grant proposal.

A Proven Need + An Innovative Idea + A Written Plan + A Superhero Funder = Measurable Change for the Better!

Before we look at the qualities that characterize an effective grant, let’s look at a short list of what a grant should not be.

A cool idea just for the sake of a cool idea. Ask yourself whether the idea aligns with your school or district’s strategic direction. Can the impact of the idea be measured? What is the bottom-line benefit to students, teachers, and staff?

A “cut and paste” job. Grant writing that isn’t customized to each potential funder simply isn’t worth the effort. Make sure your proposal tells grant reviewers that (1) you understand the mission of the funder from whom you’re asking money; (2) your proposed project is a “win-win” for both your organization and the funding organization; and (3) you care enough to follow the funder’s guidance about how much to ask for, what activities and costs are allowable, and how well your project responds to the grant-making priorities the funder has established.

Just About Getting the Money. Grant funding is a competitive process no matter how you consider it. So it is pointless to request money without a competitive project. Remember the money is simply a vehicle for your organization to do the “right thing” to improve teaching and learning.

Understanding what not to do is important, but what do you need to do to get started in preparing a grant proposal? Go forth and come up with an idea!

Innovative ideas are all around you. One of the best places to look is in the process of daily teaching. Once you define a broad concept, hone it into an idea that addresses specific educational priorities.

The idea should relate to a specific need or problem. Can you take the idea and relate it to specific measurable objectives? Grant funders look for measurable objectives because they provide evidence that their contributions have truly made a difference.

Ideas must pass the “so what” test. Does the idea have the potential to make a difference in the lives of students, teachers, or the community? What, specifically, will the idea change?

Good ideas need a sprinkling of innovation. While you don’t have to reinvent the wheel (and in many cases funders don’t want you to), you do have to build a few new spokes. Look for existing models for your idea that have proven benefits in the field. How can you take an existing model in a new and exciting direction?

Ideas should reflect best practices. Know what they are, where they have been implemented, and what results may be expected. Talk to successful project directors locally and nationally for advice and strategies, as well as existing gaps you might be able to fill.

Show cross-disciplinary efforts. Many grant funders like to see cross-disciplinary efforts. Talk to your internal experts. Grant proposals that are too insular and don’t show adequate internal and external collaboration can be a red flag to a funding agency.

Now that you have an innovative idea for a project worthy of funding, you’ll need a plan and the right funder to make it reality. In Part II of this article I’ll review the final two ingredients of the perfect grant recipe: A Written Plan + A Superhero Funder = Measurable Change for the Better!
