The Woodrow Wilson Indiana Teaching Fellowship Microgrant Program allows WW Indiana Teaching Fellows to write proposals for small amounts of funding to attend or present at professional conferences, buy teaching materials for their classrooms, or complete community-based service-learning projects. The microgrants have been enormously successful, as evidenced in the summaries of Fellows’ projects. Fellows describe outcomes that have not only strengthened their own teaching and sparked their students’ interest in the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math), but have also provided new resources for their colleagues and schools. The Woodrow Wilson Foundation takes tremendous pride in these Fellows, who have committed themselves to classroom excellence for their students and the communities they serve. The Lily Endowment has given them a truly exceptional opportunity to enrich their students’ learning. During the 2019-2020 academic year, 26 individual grants were awarded to Indiana Teaching Fellows who shared the benefits of the grants with their students, mentor teachers, schools, and surrounding communities.
Take some time to browse through our selection of audio posters to learn more about these Indiana Fellows’ impressive work and how they have utilized (or plan to utilize) resources and knowledge gained to support STEM learning in their classrooms, schools, and districts despite the challenges posed by COVID-19.
