New 2018-2019 Scale-Up Application OPEN!
Common Questions:
Educators from in-school and out-of-school settings are encouraged to apply.
Can multiple educators be listed in an application?
Yes. For example, if three fourth grade teachers from the same building are interested in applying for a program, all of the educators can be listed within one application.
I would like to apply but we have not hired the educator who would teach the program.
No worries. The application allows you to put a "placeholder" in your application. Before implementing the program, however, the placeholder will need to be replaced with an actual teacher.
Can I apply for multiple school buildings in one application?
For districts interested in applying for multiple buildings, each building will need to have its own application but within the application portal, applications can be copied to make the process of applying for buildings across a district easier.
For more information about the process or the program menu, contact
Kristine Bullock.
APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN JANUARY 22 - MARCH 5, 2018.
