Teacher Innovation Grants

We are working in collaboration with the Network of Inquiry and Indigenous Education (NOIIE) and Growing Innovations through the RIX Professorship in Rural Teacher Education to offer support to school districts and teachers pursuing inquiry projects in mathematics, STEM, and Indigenous education. This year we began supporting 7 projects and most will carry-over to 2020-2021 due to collaborative responses to the global pandemic.
