Award for Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
National Council for the Social Studies and Kaur Foundation have announced an award to honor social studies teaching and leadership excellence in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The DEI Instructional Innovation Award will recognize a teacher, administrator, or institution that has developed and taught a modified course, revised curricula, or created equity and inclusion tools to support inclusiveness resulting in changes of demonstrated or measurable impact in classrooms and schools. The $2,500 award is intended to recognize the contributions of outstanding educators and administrators who build safe and welcoming classrooms to safeguard civil rights and promote excellence in education, empowering all.
GetEdFunding is a grant-finding resource sponsored by CDW•G that is dedicated to helping educators, schools, and other institutions identify the funding they need in budget-tight times.
Schools generally have until the fall of 2024 to use the last of their federal COVID relief dollars. In a January 26 letter, the US Department of Education offered recommendations to help school districts use their remaining coronavirus relief funding to plan for the long-term success of education technology programs.
