Teaching, learning grants for CPSD teachers

Three Clover Park School District teachers have been awarded two-year Teaching and Learning 21st Century (TL21) grants, which will provide training in classroom technology integration and equipment for their classrooms. Clover Park High School's Mary Sharp and Dower Elementary School's Linda Muir and Alison Uuereb each received $7,600 grants for the 2010/11 school year. The teachers will use the grant money for equipment and training to monitor student progress and deliver classroom instruction in a more motivational and varied way. A total of 100 grants were awarded to teachers in Washington state this year. The TL21 grant program is funded federally through the Enhancing Education Through Technology program, a component of Title II, Part D of the No Child Left Behind Act. Money for the grants will come from the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
