Due Date: February 25, 2005
CiviConnections, a three-year teacher grant program funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service and the National Council for the Social Studies, supports students and teachers across the United States in linking inquiry into local history with service-learning activities.
Teams of three teachers from grades 3-12 in the same public school district are invited to apply for grants of $7,500 through the program. The grant covers the costs of attending a summer workshop, implementing the program during the fall of 2005, and attending a 2005 conference in Kansas City, Missouri.
Applicants must be members of the National Council for the Social Studies (or agree to join if their application is accepted). Teachers that teach disciplines other than social studies are eligible to apply; however, priority will be given to those teachers who teach social studies or a social science course. Part time or retired teachers are not eligible.
