Notes
Our school has been fortunate to be chosen as a participant in the Classroom Design of the Future. Last year I applied for the grant and am so grateful that I was chosen, particularly on behalf of my students. In a time when student voice is becoming so important, I feel obligated to do everything that I possibly can to make their ideas a reality. I have been gathering money using different funding sources to make this project happen. It is difficult to determine the efficacy of decisions made to alter your classroom if the environment is not as close to how it would realistically need to be to test different instructional, and pedagogical changes. ANY PORTION OF THIS GRANT BEING FUNDED WOULD BE INCREDIBLE and APPRECIATED. The unending support provided by Excellence in Education has single handedly revolutionized my classroom already, and I am unable to express my gratitude appropriately. Thank you for your consideration of our grant request.
