IMPACT II recognizes and rewards teachers through grants and networking opportunities. Disseminator grants allow teachers to further develop and disseminate exemplary programs that they have developed in their classrooms. Adaptor grants are awarded to teachers to adapt established disseminator programs. Programs are disseminated via catalogs, curriculum fairs, interschool visits, and www.teachersnetwork.org.

1. It begins with a teacher's good idea. Through small grants, IMPACT II helps the teacher package that innovation, connects that teacher with interested colleagues, and then recruits all the interested teachers into a continuing professional and social network.
2. The better idea. Anyone who is any good at any job figures out ways to do it better. Teachers Network designates teachers or teams of teachers who have developed better projects for their own classrooms as "disseminators" and then awards them grants, averaging $500.
3. Packaging the idea. Teachers use the grant money to package their ideas and to connect with other interested teachers, known as "adaptors," who receive grants to cut and fit the original ideas to their classrooms. The disseminator teachers want to help others improve their work; the adaptors want to make their own classrooms better.
4. Connecting good people. Because teacher-to-teacher teaching and learning does not happen magically, Teachers Network manages the process. Those innovative faculty members-disseminators and adaptors-are recruited into a professional and social network of like-minded individuals.
