Dr. Dan Kahler Innovative Teaching Grants Program
The Dr. Dan Kahler Innovative Teaching Grants Program funds enhanced teaching and learning opportunities not provided by tax dollars. Applicants must demonstrate creative, innovative and effective ways to meet students’ needs, while increasing their motivation to learn and achieving measurable outcomes.
Grants for 2012-2013 were awarded in April during the Education Foundation’s Great Grant Giveaway. For descriptions of the winners, click here. Since 1996, the Education Foundation has awarded 159 grants totaling more than $182,000. For a list of all winners since 1997, click here.
