Innovative Teaching Grants

PSEA promotes excellence in education through the Innovative Teaching Grant program, created to recognize PSEA members for contributions to innovative instruction.

Each year, up to four $1,500 grants are awarded to teachers, librarians, education support professionals, instructional teams, pupil services personnel, and higher education staff. PSEA-Retired and Student PSEA members may submit an application in conjunction with a PSEA EA member. PSEA’s Council on Instruction and Professional Development recommends grant applicants to the PSEA Board of Directors, with grantees recognized at the PSEA Spring House of Delegates held each May.

All applications and supporting materials must be received electronically by Feb. 1 of each year by 5 p.m.

For more information about PSEA's Innovative Teaching Grants, contact Katie Lewis (klewis@psea.org).
