 Ms. Harris and Mr. Crapper noted in their application that the award will increase students' understanding of physical science concepts as they will be able to fully participate in laboratory experiments, rather than passively observing teacher led demonstrations.
“Northwest Professional Educators is happy to provide Mr. Crapper and Ms. Harris this grant to enhance student learning,” said Cindy Omlin, Executive Director of NWPE. “NWPE is proud to reward educators for their hard work and creativity in the classroom. This award is certainly well-deserved as these dedicated teachers seek ways to increase student achievement.”
NWPE awards $500 teacher scholarships and classroom grants twice a year. Teachers who are new to the profession or their classroom are also eligible for $250 New Classroom Start-Up Grants. All educators are eligible for the awards although NWPE members receive first preference. The next application deadline is October 31, 2011.
Northwest Professional Educators is a nonprofit, non-union, professional educators’ organization focused on students as educators’ highest priority and improving the professionalism of education.
NWPE welcomes educators of any education entity including teachers, administrators and support staff and provides members with liability insurance, legal services, professional development resources, opportunities for teacher scholarships and classroom grants, newsletters, and a voice on education issues.
