ACPS is offering teachers the chance to apply for a Teachers’ Dream Fund award up to $4,999. The last day to apply for an award is Wednesday, December 16. Applications will not be accepted after 5 p.m.
The Alexandria City School Board has allocated $57,000 to help teachers and other licensed professionals fund their dream projects. Any licensed ACPS professional (individual or groups) working directly with students may write a proposal to fund a project.
Projects in the past have included buying sets of remote response clickers, digital voice recorders, science lab equipment such as worm farms, classroom libraries and field trips to enhance the curriculum.
Please view the Teachers’ Dream Fund application, guidelines and rubric on which applicants will be scored, so you can properly submit your application.
The Teachers’ Dream Fund provides resources to implement programs that educators believe are creative, innovative and will stimulate students’ growth and achievement.
For more information, please visit the ACPS Dream Fund web page or email the Dream Fund Board at dreamfund@acps.k12.va.us. A list of previous recipients and projects is included on the website.
