Good
Morning
Welcome to Mid Michigan Learn and Serve!
Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Intermediate
School Districts have formed a partnership with the goal of
becoming a regional service learning network. This project will enable
the expansion of service-learning into schools not currently utilizing
this teaching strategy. This grant includes funds for teacher training,
the development of a web-based regional Learn and Serve calendar and a
data-base of training programs and materials for loan. The theme of this
project is Expanding Civic Education Through Service-Learning
and Mentoring. This program awards Mini-Grants to teachers
to implement the service-learning projects with their students.
Participants will be eligible to apply for project mini-grants and for
sub reimbursement support to attend sessions. The deadline for mini
grant applications is Jan. 16, 2006.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The
National Council for the Social Studies Civic Connections Program links
local history inquiry with community service-learning activities.
Teachers will develop and adopt these activities based on their
students' interests and abilities, the needs or problems in the local
community, and their local social studies curriculum requirements.
Maximum Award: $7500.00. Eligibility: Teams of three 3rd-12th grade
teachers and must partner with at least on local community agency.
Deadline: February 26, 2006
