This is a national level award that is sponsored
by the Alliance to Save Energy.

| Everyone in our district has a
direct impact on the savings we can achieve through eliminating waste (energy,
water, materials). Having awards recognition, monetary incentives,
and teachers' grants is a great management tool for principals and directors
in their efforts to encourage their employees to conserve. Grant
money is for teachers who would like to incorporate Project Green Machine
service-learning activities into their curriculum. |
Teacher Grants
The purpose of these grants is to provide resources to
teachers who would like to conduct Project Green Machine activities in
their classes. The Public Education Foundation of Marion County administers
the grant. Applications can be submitted to them in accordance with
the schedule for the "Grants
for Great Ideas." A grant application
form is included.
Project requirements include:
· Resource conservation theme should be expressed
in the planned activities.
· Incorporate service learning as a teaching technique.
· Teacher must use the application form.
· Teacher must attend a half-day in-service training
session.
· Teacher must complete a final report at the
conclusion of the project.
