The Quality Teacher Education Act of 2008 included funding to be awarded for schools to support their exemplary work. Over the past 15 years, this is evolved into the Innovation and Impact Awards program. 

The Impact Awards component are designed to support schools who have already developed a project for which they seek funding.

Schools submit ideas, budgets and project plans to demonstrate how they would use funding to support a project or effort at their site and can secure up to $25,000 for this concept. Prior winning projects have included sending teachers to Japan to learn Lesson Study to building leveled libraries within a school site.

The 23-24 Impact Awards application are now available at this link! If you have a promising idea, please complete the application by Monday, October 2.
