For 2008-2009, the San Ramon Valley Education Foundation will continue to support the district Reading and Writing Project through grants. This year, however, we will permit each school to allocate the funds as they see fit. SRVEF will grant $1,000 to each SCHOOL that has submitted an appropriate application.
Each school may submit ONE application. The application must describe how the funds will be used.
Some funding examples:
-
A school may choose to spend half their grant on professional development with in-school coaches for 8th grade teachers, and half on RWP-related books.
-
A school may decide to give every RWP-trained teacher a portion of the grant funds.
-
A school may chose to use all of their funds for professional development.
The application MUST:
-
Be submitted by the principal and one RWP-trained school representative (both names must be part of the application);
-
Briefly describe how the funds will be used and how it fits with the overall strategy of the RWP at your school; and,
-
Be submitted electronically through the SRVUSD/SRVEF Grant system.
