Walden University Invites Nominations for Educator for a Day National Grant Program
Deadline: October 17, 2011

The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership at Walden University has announced that it will award a total of $25,000 in grants for pre-K–12 schools that host Educator for a Day events as part of American Education Week (November 13–19, 2011).

The Walden grant program is intended to encourage teachers and administrators to participate in the National Education Association’s Educator for a Day event by hosting aspiring educators, community leaders, parents, and friends as they “shadow” teachers in the classroom. Schools that receive a grant will be required to arrange for teacher shadowing opportunities during Educator for a Day events on November 17, 2011.

Five schools from across the United States will be selected to receive a $5,000 grant. Funding may be used to enhance classroom education, provide educational technology or supplies, or sponsor special educational activities.

Any teacher or administrator from a public or private pre-K–12 school may submit a nomination.
