Teacher Study Group Grants Available to East Orange Teachers and Administrators!
The Montclair State University Network for Educational Renewal (MSUNER) of the Montclair State University Center of Pedagogy welcomes you to apply for a Teacher Study Group Grant (TSG) for the 2009-2010 academic year.
A TSG is meant to provide an opportunity for teachers to take responsibility for their own professional development and renewal by engaging in collaborative learning and inquiry that will advance the goal of simultaneous renewal of the schools and the education of educators. In other words, it gives a group of educators a chance to work and learn together about a topic of mutual interest.
Since the possibilities are endless for the design and mission of the grant, let your imagination, interests, and needs guide your thinking when writing a proposal. The study group context provides a wonderful vehicle for collegial professional development to assist in and redesign teaching.
Each member district is entitled to $1,000 in funding for the 2009-2010 academic year. For each district, funds will be divided among the number of study groups that are accepted and by the nature of the project. The maximum funding for any one study group grant is $500.
Teacher Study Group Grant proposals are due October 15, 2009.
Please contact District Coordinator Koree Knight @ k.knight@eastorange.k12.nj.us for a copy of the RFP and if you have any questions!

It should not be passive, lectures. Teachers should be involved. It should be a discussion. It should involve everyone sharing ideas and resources, not just one person at the front of the room.
