Our Teacher Mini-Grant Program supports students by providing teachers with funding for innovative classroom projects that enhance the educational experience for MPS students. Since 2013, MEF has granted over $75,000 to teachers in our community.

 

Applications are welcome from all Milford Public School District teachers.

 

Teacher Mini-Grant Criteria
The funds awarded by the Foundation will be targeted at projects that will:

 

• Relate directly to student learning and growth

• Strengthen the curriculum through the development of innovative programs

• Enhance the educational resources available to students

 

While the Foundation welcomes innovative ideas from all disciplines, we would like 50% of the awarded grants to align with specific subject matter interests as follows:

 

• Social & Emotional Learning: e.g., mindfulness, emotional intelligence, impact of arts with social learning, community improvement, dealing with divisiveness

• Creativity and the Arts: e.g., encouraging innovation, learning from outside experts

• Interdisciplinary Learning: e.g., connecting common themes/concepts across subject matters

• Science/Technology: e.g., increasing hands-on experiences, interaction with outside professionals, furthering programmatic logic and exploring robotics engineering and artificial intelligence

• Math: e.g., using innovative reinforcement tools, promoting real-world contextualization
