Teachers should be planning now to develop a creative project they wish to apply for by the deadline of October 17, 2008.
An innovative project is one that places the emphasis on the students and not the teachers. It should contain original and innovative ideas; should involve significant numbers of students; and it should have an impact which continues over time. An innovative project is not one which has as its main focus teacher advancement, travel, or a teacher’s course of study.
