In the spring of each year, individual teachers or teams of teachers are invited to design projects based on their own classroom needs and submit these projects to the Shannon Foundation for funding consideration. Grants are awarded blindly basd on competitive criteria emphasizing classroom effectiveness and active student involvement. Grants are awarded without knowledge of which teacher, which school, or which school system the proposed program will benefit. School principals sign off on all teacher proposals before they are submitted to the Shannon Foundation for funding.
