The Qwest Teacher and Technology grant program encourages Colorado K-12 teachers to improve student achievement through the integration of technology into their classrooms.
A classroom teacher or a team of classroom teachers who are employed by an eligible school district may apply for a Qwest Teachers and Technology grant. Basic eligibility requirements include the following:
The Qwest Teachers and Technology grants are administered by the Public Education + Business Coalition through a competitive process. All grant applications are reviewed and evaluated by a selection committee of education, business and civic leaders. The number of grants awarded shall be limited by the merit of the proposals and by the availability of funds.
An individual classroom teacher or a team of classroom teachers may seek grants for the purpose of improving student achievement through the integration of technology into their classroom curriculum. The average grant amount is approximately $5,000. Funds are granted directly to the teacher. In the case of a team application, funds are granted directly to the team leader.
A team of classroom teachers consists of two or more eligible classroom teachers. Each team must designate a team leader in order to initiate the application process. The team leader shall be the contact person for all matters regarding the application process.
All grant funds shall be expended during the 2009 academic year. Any funds not expended during this timeframe shall be returned by Dec. 1, 2009. Grant recipients shall submit an expense report postmarked on or before Oct. 9, 2009.
