Learn More about TT Educator Grants
In the Fall of 2017, we launched a new Educator Grants program to support projects that promote affirming school climates and educate youth to thrive in a diverse democracy. This edition of The Moment features creative grant-funded projects from educators like you who care about equity and culturally responsive teaching. You'll also find pointers on how to apply for your own grant. Stay tuned for more news about grants for projects supporting civic and democratic engagement!
