Teacher Creativity Grants

The Teacher Creativity Grants, funded by the Wells County Foundation, aim to support innovative teaching projects that align with Indiana State Standards. These grants empower educators to enhance curriculum through creative initiatives that promote critical thinking and 21st-century skills. Endorsement from school leadership is essential for proposal submission, and public school corporations may apply once annually for funding. This initiative encourages a progressive educational environment, fostering a culture of creativity and excellence among students.
