The U.S. Department of Education, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and other national organizations, have teamed up with ASCD to create a new competition for teachers – Teacher Impact Grants (TIGs), an initiative designed to support teachers as leaders in driving transformation in education. The grant challenges teachers to develop promising teacher-led, administrator-supported ideas, programs, or initiatives to improve education. Funds are provided through the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Foundation Charitable Trust and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
The grants are available for the 2016-17 school year. The average grant is expected to be $10,000. The application period is from May 16 to June 16.
