FEDERAL INNOVATION FUNDS AND INSTRUMENTAL ENRICHMENT

The recent (October 2009) announcement of a multi-million dollar Innovation Fund by the federal government has indicated that combinations of school districts are now encouraged to apply for grants that would promote student achievement in innovative ways. This announcement appears to be an opportunity for those interested in promoting Instrumental Enrichment to develop a grant proposal that would encompass multiple school districts for training and implementation in FIE for the coming year. As indicated in the NAFA newsletter (see links & resources) anyone interested in joining together for purposes of a group proposal to obtain funds for this purpose is asked to contact David Martin,PHD to discuss how we may all work together to develop a proposal. Proposals must be submitted in February 2010.
