Pilot Grants for School-Community Collaborations
Deadline: November 15, 2006
Healthy School Communities, a program of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD), is providing grants for collaborative school and community programs that create healthy schools. This program is part of a multiyear plan to shift public dialogue about education from an academic focus to a whole child approach that encompasses all factors required for successful learning.
ASCD hopes to recast the definition of a successful learner from one whose achievement is measured solely by academic tests, to one who is knowledgeable, emotionally and physically healthy, civically engaged, prepared for economic self-sufficiency, and ready for the world beyond formal schooling.
ASCD will select ten pilot school communities to receive a $10,000 grant for the 2007 calendar year. The pilot grant is open to K-12 public and independent school communities in the United States and its territories, Canada, the Caribbean, and the Asia Pacific region.
