HCPSS educators are incredible resources to identify innovative approaches to enhance student learning

About

Bright Minds awards competitive annual grants to HCPSS teachers and school-based staff interested in delivering innovative instructional projects that support student success.

These grants are offered in recognition of HCPSS educators as incredible resources for identifying new and effective approaches to enhance student learning, and their added role as first responders addressing important student needs as they adjust to a “new normal” in classrooms and schools.

Classroom Innovation Project grant projects not only support student success, but also enrich teaching practices, strengthen school communities, and pilot important classroom projects.
