Brand New Course: Grant Writing (EDU 930)

Typical school budgets rarely cover the supplies and equipment that teachers require, making it more imperative than ever to master the art of grant proposal writing. Join us online this June to learn how to address typical grant proposal components in your writing. This course is designed specifically for K-12 educators who are interested in obtaining classroom grants for the purpose of extending the learning of their students and themselves. The course has been designed such that by the end of the course, participants will have researched appropriate funders and applied the principles of technical writing to completion of a K-12 classroom grant proposal. Taught by Dr. Patty McGinnis ; register by May 31st .

Meet Our Curriculum Coordinator and MET Advisor,
Alicen Hoy
You may recognize Alicen as an instructor of some of our Chromebooks , Google Tools , and Inquiry Learning courses, if you've taken them sometime in the past three years. In addition to being an excellent instructor, Alicen has also taken on the role of Curriculum Coordinator for Eduspire, as well as playing an integral part in the advisor program for the Wilson College Master of Educational Technology (MET) degree.

In her role as Curriculum Coordinator, Alicen serves as a liason between Eduspire Instructors and Wilson College, making sure that each party has what is needed for the running of courses. She also oversees the MET Advisor program and works with our advisors to ensure that our MET students are progressing through the program successfully.

Alicen is still an instructor with Eduspire, and she finds that her interactions with course-takers as Curriculum Coordinator and MET Advisor help to guide her teaching because she is still able to stay connected to the ever-changing world of educational technology through conversations with instructors and students.
