NCTM Accepting Proposals for Teacher Professional Development Grants

DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 7, 2014

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics supports teachers with the aim of ensuring equitable mathematics learning of the highest quality for all students through vision, leadership, professional development, and research.

To that end, NCTM is accepting applications for its Teacher Professional Development Grants for Grades 6–8 Teachers Grant program, which supports professional development to improve the teaching competence of one or more classroom math teachers.

For 2015–16, grants of up to $3,000 each will be awarded to persons currently teaching mathematics in grades 6-8. The proposal must delineate the teacher(s)’ professional development plan and address how the proposed project will improve the teacher(s)’ competence and affect students’ learning. While the grant does not fund the purchase of technology, proposals including professional development involving the use of technology to enhance student learning are encouraged.

To be eligible, applicants must be a member of NCTM as of October 15, 2014, and currently teach math in grades 6-8 at least 50 percent of the school day.
