EDUA 5733 Supplement Your Classroom Resources
FROM FREE TO FUNDED-SUPPLEMENTING YOUR CLASSROOM RESOURCES
You want to give your students the best, but maintaining a classroom and providing creative learning experiences can be expensive. Schools have a finite set of resources, and while educators can often stretch limited resources to do amazing things, that doesn’t mean they don’t want more for their students!
In this course, we will discuss all things funding. You’ll begin by exploring a variety of grants available across grade levels and subject areas (spoiler alert: there are tons!), and we will break down specifically how to write effective grant applications. Then you’ll take a look at other government and community resources, as well as common school funding pathways. In addition, you’ll learn about modern digital funding options, including how to successfully use crowdfunding sites and other fundraising events and activities. Finally, you’ll take a deep dive into the vast array of free tools that are available and how you can leverage them meaningfully in the classroom.
Using the strategies from this course, you will be able to maximize your efforts to create priceless learning experiences even when faced with limited time and resources.
