Support from School District
The sample letters below will guide you in obtaining support for you and your colleagues to attend a Modeling Instruction TM Workshop or to host one at your school. Along with the letter some do a presentation to the School Board.
In addition, the information below contains excerpts that are relevant to professional development in Modeling Instruction: Federal TITLE II Regulations for LEAs in EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT ( ESSA)
Support from Corporate Foundations
This sample proposal, below, is an adaptation of one written by an experienced physics Modeling Workshop leader in 2010. The school superintendent submitted it to a local corporate foundation. The proposal describes the project well and describes successful recruitment activities. The daily calendar is excellent.
Support from Community Organizations
Many local organizations have money to support education and are looking for ways to spend. Some of our members have contacted local organizations such as Rotary, Soroptimists and/or Society of Women Engineers. They have offered to give a presentation at their next meeting in return for funding to host or attend a Modeling Instruction TM Workshop .
