Inspiring students and teachers
Creative Instruction Awards (CIAs) are perhaps the most visible aspect of the positive work of the foundation. Awarded annually, these grants promote and support innovative teaching and learning in our schools. CIAs serve to encourage, inspire, and reward new, fresh strategies and practices in pursuit of learning. Often becoming ongoing programs for future years, the ideas initially funded through CIAs provide a direct benefit to all students.2010 High School Creative Instruction Awards
