Grant Opportunities
Following is a clip from an email I received. May 1, 2004 is the deadline for submitting projects. It sounds promising though the competition is stiff.
see clip:
The Dirksen Center congratulates teachers from all across the United States for being selected to participate in our national, award-winning education program, Congress in the Classroom 2003. The program is now in its eleventh year and is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and information on teaching about Congress.
The Center selected 33 teachers from a total of 189 applications this year. We have invited 13 men and 20 women with classroom experience ranging from first year to 34 years.
A list of this year's participants:
www.dirksencenter.org/progcongressinclassroom.htm#participants2003
For those whom The Center did not select, we offered the option of taking the online version of the workshop found at:
http://www.congressclass.org.
Anyone may take the course either for information or for certification.
