2021-2022 Classroom Grant Application 

The Innovation in Education grant program  supports the innovation and creativity of Somerville educators  in their pursuit of a high quality and engaging educational experience for all students.  

Teachers, administrators, and other educators in Somerville Public Schools can apply for grants to fund various classroom based and school wide programs that fall outside the regular school budget.
Some examples of programs that could be funded may include 

• the integration of  robotics and engineering into a school’s science curriculum 
• organizing a poetry slam within the school setting.  
• a classroom/school partnership with a local organization such Parts and Crafts
• attending a workshop to learn and practice teaching strategies that will  support learners of all levels and engage a wide range of students 
• author visits
• any other program that encourages joy in learning, curiosity and engagement. 

Innovation in Education grants support work at any level in the school system and in any subject area.  Educators of all types (ex. classroom teachers, ELL teachers, specialists, special education teachers, instructional assistants, school nurses, counselors, school administration, etc.) are encouraged to apply. 

The applications window for Innovations in Education Grants has now closed.  We are in the process of reviewing grants.  Good luck to all those who applied!
