Connecting Classrooms Grants

At this time, the Connecting Classrooms Grant program is on hiatus to further develop the application process and grant program guidelines. IPEI will inform the community when the Connecting Classroom Grant program reopens to accept applications. 

Connecting Classrooms Grants fund large-scale projects that enhance student engagement and support learning consistent with school and district goals. Our intent is to be the catalyst for Ithaca City School District (ICSD) staff to seek and develop collaborative partnerships between teachers within a school, across grade levels and/or between schools.

IPEI has committed funds to encourage innovative thinking, further engage students, and increase the sense of community between groups of teachers and students. Successful projects must have a plan for sustainability and a method for evaluation.
