Teacher Innovation and Support Fund
The Teacher Innovation and Support Fund supports projects that assist in providing better student and teacher experiences within today's classrooms. The goal of this fund is to have local, innovative ideas brought forward to continue to enhance our classrooms in such areas as student achievement, student and teacher wellness, and school safety.
1. Benefits
The Teacher Innovation and Support Fund provides funding for innovative projects from teachers that support students and improve learning environments across the province.
2. Guidelines
Application must come from certified teachers and they must work with their school and school division administration for approval of the application.
The maximum allowable amount for each project is $75,000.
Applications submitted in previous rounds that were unsuccessful in receiving funding must be resubmitted to be considered again. This is because:
- applications’ may have defined time frames which have since passed;
- there may have been teacher movement within school and school divisions; and,
- projects may no longer be applicable or a school division priority.
To resubmit a project, complete the application in the designated link below.
Project applications should demonstrate how the proposal is innovative, how the outcomes will be measured and how the project will impact students and staff.
Funding is awarded to school divisions once projects are approved. Projects that receive funding will be required to submit a report of their project providing details including:
- number of students impacted;
- results;
- challenges; and
- learnings.
3. Apply
We are currently accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year. The deadline to submit your application is Friday May 23, 2025. Successful applicants will receive notification prior to the end of the 2024-25 school year.
