The Teacher Leader program invites AdoptAClassroom.org educators to submit content incorporating teaching best practices and featuring materials purchased with AdoptAClassroom.org funds. This content may be shared with the wider AdoptAClassroom.org community.

Applicants will submit a photo, biography, and their Teacher Leader submission demonstrating highly-effective practices that meet all specified criteria, outlined here. We will accept applications on a rolling basis from October 2024 until we have awarded 10 grants of $1,500 each.
