For school administrators: This short online form is to acknowledge your awareness of and support for the submission of the National Board Certified Teacher Leadership Grant Application due June 1, 2010.
NBCTs applying for these competitive grants should identify and address a local student learning challenge and provide a plan to build teacher capacity to meet that challenge. NBCTs and their learning colleagues (NBCTs and/or other accomplished teachers) may be from the same school or across schools in the same district if addressing a common need.
Grant proposals must give priority to one or more of the following:

• Closing the Achievement Gap - addressing the students who need us most
• Mentoring and Induction - support for teachers in their first five years
• Building-Wide Leadership - strengthening leadership knowledge and skills
Grant funds may be used to pay for stipends, hourly curriculum pay, substitute teachers, books, and materials necessary for professional development. Grant funds may not be used to pay for equipment, travel, outside consultants, student materials or overhead fees/charges.
