Today Fund for Teachers opens our 2022 grant season with the belief that:
Curiosity Launches Learning.
Since 2001, 9,000+ teachers let curiosity to lead them to new insights, experiences, resources and networks through a Fund for Teachers fellowship. Multiply these teachers by their number of students — over multiple years — and it’s clear how one grant can transform classrooms and careers.
“I like to learn. That’s why I applied to Fund for Teachers in the first place,” said Rashaun James (Columbus, OH). ”I knew I could learn completely differently — try something new — because Fund for Teachers encourages teachers to go out of our comfort zones. So I pursued learning something new that I felt like my kids needed. I went with my students in mind, what I could teach them. But I feel like it changed MY life, as well.” Listen to Rashaun talk about her fellowship and it’s impact here.
Here are some resources for future FFT Fellows to learn more about our grants, as well as resources that can facilitate the grant writing process:
