The A. T. Davis Foundation, Inc. (ATDF) provides a number of training grants for exceptional educators, youth and community workers, parents, and concerned citizens to participate in courses offered through the Center for Leadership in Education and Academic Development (C-LEAD). Our grant requires each grant applicant to submit an application, the approval of our Grant Review Team, and the support of your immediate supervisor, school/departmental director, our community leader. Training grants are to be used to cover the costs associated with developing a new skill or competency that directly relates to your role as an educator or community leader.
Applications for Exceptional Educator/Leader Grant (EELG) must be submitted at least 2 weeks before the desired course is offered. A limited number of Exceptional Educator/Leader Grant applications will be approved for each Onsite Course. If no EELG Grants are awarded for any C-LEAD program or event, then additional Exceptional Educator/Leader Grants may be awarded in subsequent programs until the EELG funds are exhausted. Unsuccesful EELG Applications should consider applying for subsequent programs and inquire as to the reason for the denial of their application. For more information contact one of our Training Consultants, today!
Requirements
1. Applicant must be or have been an employee of a local school district, community organization, parent living in the community where the program will be presented, or a concerned citizen working with one or more of the educational, social services, or community based agencies for a minimum of 6 months during one continuous year prior to the deadline date of the application (exceptions are at the discretion of the ATDF, the ED-EEC, or his designate)
2. Applicants must have demonstrated exceptional teaching or leadership skills and witnessed by two or more colleagues or another professional in their content/subject area or leadership role within 6 months of their application and the time for which the grant is being awarded.
3. Applicants must submit a one page statement of their desire to participate in the course, the course number, a statement of the potential impact and learning outcomes from participation in the program, and the applicability of the course to their job or desired work area.
4. Grant Applicants must satisfactorily complete all course requirements. As Grant Resources are limited, unsatisfactory completion of any course may require reimbursement by the individual, supporting agency, the Grant recipient (Grant Recipients are reimbursed by ATDF upon successful completion of the course), or restrictions from future applications from the individual or the agency they represent.
5. Previous EELG Recipients are not eligible for a full calendar from the end of their last grant. Exceptions will be made on those special occassions when all grant applicants have been awarded a grant.
