School Based Grant Priorities
This semester we are working our way to each remaining elementary school, as well as IR Prep, Treasure Coast Technical College, Early Learning, and IR Virtual. We were able to meet with and discuss the grant priorities of the following schools in February:
Indian River Academy (School of Aerospace & Robotics):
- Staffing so that teachers can meet students’ needs in math & science
- Robotics Classroom Sets/Kits & Staff Development/Training
- Support for “Building Thinking Classrooms” across the curriculum
Glendale Elementary School (School of Environmental Science):
- Project WILD professional development opportunities that can support Glendale as a “School of Environmental Science.” Support for this priority could include funding for the training, materials, and substitute teachers/guest educators to ensure that all staff members are able to participate.
- Funding to support students’ opportunities to have environmental learning experiences (transportation, mobile experiences that can come to Glendale, chaperones, and volunteers).
- Staff training in Kagan Cooperative Learning Structures so that teachers can foster and promote cooperation and communication in the classroom in ways that will boost students’ confidence and maintain their interest in classroom interactions. Support for this priority could include funding for the training, materials, and/or substitute teachers/guest educators to ensure that all staff members are able to participate.
- ESE classroom makeover. The ESE students need a “Zen-Zone” full of sensory soothing colors, sounds, and textures that can help redirect their thinking and actions during the school day when they need a break and will help ensure that they are ready for learning when they re-enter the classroom.
Rosewood Magnet School (School of STEAM and Core Knowledge):
Rosewood is a STEAM and Core Knowledge school that showcases student work and achievements every month during SCORE Knowledge Events creating a “Lived Learning” experience.
To support this program and the “Lived Learning” the funding priorities at Rosewood are as follows:
- Revitalized outdoor learning space in the courtyard: sound barriers around the A/C units, technology for student presentations (screens, microphones, speakers, projectors, stage, moveable seating, tree removal and shade screens or even a dome).
- Hardcourt Updating: events on the hardcourt often include 800-900 people. RMS needs sufficient seating (bleachers?), sound systems and digital infrastructure (power outlets) to truly showcase students’ learning.
- Space for Parent Resources: Rosewood’s PTA is full of parents ready to share and collaborate on opportunities that are available to students and families that will support student learning. They need enough space that will allow for all these resources to be organized and accessible to all the Rosewood parents and families.
Dodgertown Elementary School (STEAM Tech Lab ~ Community Partnership School):
- STEAM Arts Support – The talented students at Dodgertown need funding to showcase their talents through the various arts programs:
- Music – can be supported with music curriculum and instruments (like recorders)
- Fine Arts –
- Visual Arts – paper, paint, markers, sharpies, glue sticks, tape, colored pencils, and pastels
- Performing Arts – can be supported with funds to purchase licensing for plays/music, uniforms, costumes, props, etc.
- STEAM Tech Lab Support – the students in the STEAM Tech Lab need more iPads to operate the various robots (Ozobots, Dot&Dash, and Lego WeDo) as part of the STEAM program, as well as whiteboards to incorporate the “Building Thinking Classrooms” model in the STEAM Lab. Headphones are also useful to every child on campus.
- Community Partnership Support – The community partnership at Dodgertown has a Community Closet for Dodgertown students and families to ensure that all students have access to unified dress clothing and are ready to learn. They also offer nonperishable foods for families that are in need on a weekly basis. As the partnership grows, the Dodgertown Community Closet is in need of non-perishable food items, and larger clothes for 4th and 5th grade students. They can also use laundry detergent and more washers and dryers to ensure that students’ clothes are cleaned regularly, and they can attend class dressed for success!
Fellsmere Elementary School (A Dual Language School):
- Dual Language Coach to support the expansion of the Dual Language Program.
- Dual Language supplemental materials and Dual Language science curriculum grades 3-5.
- Realia – Amplify hands-on materials to support knowledge and comprehension lessons for all students at Fellsmere.
Citrus Elementary School (School of Community Citizenship):
- Instructional Interventionist, to ensure that all students have access to the support they need to learn and excel academically.
- Support for student and parent transition academies (entering Kindergarten and exiting 5th graders). Funding can support staffing, materials, transportation, and food.
- WIPE Boards for Building Thinking Classrooms, to ensure that EVERY Citrus Stinger has the opportunity for deep academic engagement and success.
Osceola Magnet School (School of Math and Engineering):
- Support to update and replenish the robotics… Spheros and all the additional parts(ramps, chariots, etc.), iPads to increase student access to the robotics program so that it can grow beyond the club space into the core classroom settings.
- Hire a STEAM Coach – to support technology integration through the lens of STEAM in all classrooms
