Project Title: IPEI Teacher, School, and Partnership Grants
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The Ithaca Public Education Initiative (IPEI) facilitates community connections and support for Ithaca City School District students through engagement, collaboration, and grants. In addition to providing funding support for teachers to enhance their curricula, IPEI serves as the fiscal sponsor of two affiliates: the Ithaca Fine Arts Booster Group and Ithaca STEM Advocates. IPEI enables support for teacher projects in the Ithaca City School District\u2019s (ICSD) 12 public schools with over 5300 students.<\/p>\n
IPEI Teacher Grants support ICSD initiatives for innovative educational projects involving community members in student learning. Applications are accepted for grants up to $1,750 each. The West African Music for Social Justice grant, for example, funded a visit from Ithaca College Music Professor Baruch Whitehead to students in elementary school classrooms who were learning about West African drumming and its connections to dance and storytelling.
\nRed and Gold Grants are grants of up to $700 for specific classroom or school projects to enrich activities that fall outside the criteria of IPEI\u2019s larger Teacher Grants program. An example is high school seniors meeting with governmental officials to learn how to create a thriving city in a Participation in Government class.
\nConnecting Classrooms Grants of up to $10,000 fund large-scale projects that enhance student engagement and support learning consistent with district goals. ICSD staff are encouraged to develop partnerships between teachers, across grade levels and\/or between schools. The grants are designed to encourage innovative thinking, engage students, and increase the sense of community between groups of teachers and students. A recently awarded grant connects all ICSD elementary school students participating in the 2023 Global Read Aloud. Students read a book about the rovers exploring the planet Mars, meet scientists from Cornell\u2019s Spacecraft Planetary Image Facility, and partake in a STEM robotics activity centered around the rovers.\n<\/p>\n
