About the Program
This grant seeks to support teachers in developing and disseminating
exemplary web-based curriculum units they have already taught in
their classrooms. We are looking for curriculum units that
integrate the Internet and involve students with technology tools
in a meaningful and authentic context. Grant award-winning
projects will be published on our premier education site, http://teachersnetwork.org,
and will be entered into our database of curriculum units.
Teachers Network
is an education non-profit organization that identifies
and connects innovative teachers who exemplify professionalism,
independence, and creativity within the public schools.
Teachers Network provides grants and networking opportunities
for teachers in the areas of curriculum, leadership, policy, and
