---------------------------------
Today is June 15th, and our 30 Days of June tip for today is Teachers.Net's academic grant resources. Whether you are looking for help funding small classroom projects, or ambitious national programs, Teachers.Net has the help you need to bring in the green!
Wherever you teach, whatever you teach - chances are, you can use
some help with teaching supplies, curriculum development, or costs and
expenses. Lucky for teachers who use Teachers.Net, there are
several focused tools on site designed to help teachers, philanthropists,
corporations, and the government share and explore educational
grants.
The Internet is full of great opportunities and resources for grant
writing, but it can be difficult to bring them together. The
following resources hosted on Teachers.Net will help you network with
other educators and administrators who have experience with grant
writing, or are sharing your challenges exploring them.
Teacher Grant Writing Chatboard
The Grant Writing Chatboard brings together teachers and educators
through a busy online discussion forum. You'll find thousands of
teachers who are active in the grant writing process, who can help you
with your project, or would love to hear your input on your
experiences.

NEW: Educational Grant Opportunities and Specialists
In addition to your teacher chatboard for grant writing, be sure to
check out the Teachers.Net Classifieds Educational Grant Opportunities
and Specialists. I have just added this resource today, so
it will take a little time before it is loaded up with exciting grant
programs and listings for grant writing specialists. But bookmark
it and return often, because you'll quickly find it filling up with great
opportunities. Checking these resources frequently will help ensure
you don't miss out on late-breaking alerts or opportunities with short
deadlines:

Grant Writing Stategies: Show Me The Money!
Recently, the Teachers.Net Gazette featured an article by with Grant
Writing Specialist LaVerne Hamlin. LaVerne is an educator who has
taught in dozens of science courses, a curriculum that offers tremendous
opportunity for engaging students with compelling
demonstrations.
LaVerne Hamlin says, "Teaching students in the current millennium
is extremely different from working with the students I taught in the
early seventies. I have adapted comfortably to changing my teaching
techniques. A teacher is often compared to an entertainer because he or
she must captivate and hold the interest of the audience(students).
"A teacher has to be unique and present material in an enjoyable and
innovative manner. In order to expose students to unique and highly
motivating lessons, a teacher must have the necessary supplies and
equipment to accomplish this objective."
LaVerne's article, Show Me The Money!!!! (Teachers.Net Gazette, March 2008), offers some excellent
methodology for educators seeking to supplement their curriculum with
grants. It's a how-to primer for Grant Writing, and should be read
by every teacher looking to increase their success with grant hunting and
procurement.
