MY CART
Local companies, national companies, school districts, teacher organizations, etc give grants. Keep your eyes open for opportunities that come through your hands. I found that many I received, I received from the same place year after year.
Having said that, during my years of teaching I received close to a hundred local grants totaling thousands of dollars for my classroom and my school. I found teachers hesitant to apply thinking that it was much too difficult to do. It isn't; it's really quite easy following a few simple guidelines.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Like most of you reading this profile, I am a lover of children, a care-giver, and a dedicated teacher. I spent 32 years in the classroom before retiring several years ago. During my tenure as a teacher in the elementary grades, I was on a myriad of writing committees, including those that developed the benchmarks for the district. As a literacy coach, I was able to present at both local and state levels at both the Reading and Math conferences. I co-authored a book, Beyond Book Buddies, by Corwin Press. I have also written for the internet and been a critical reader for both Scott Foresman and Corwin Press. As a teacher I wrote and received many grants at both the state and local level. During these last years, I have been writing units of study for my daughter who teaches in Texas. She has been able to use and adapt them for her Special Ed students of high school age, a task for all teachers using units and lessons of study written by others. The method of teaching should be the decision of the teacher and should meet the needs of the students he/she teaches.
