Please sign me up for one of these opportunities in Spring of 2008!
CFE is looking for a few good Volunteers to assist with ensuring that our TNLI promotion pieces reach schools and teachers in a timely manner. Help CFE and have some great conversations with fellow volunteers. Come for an hour, a morning or stay a long as you can. All help is greatly appreciated!
We need volunteers to help us read grant proposals. Spend as little or as much time as you would like. $1250 fellowships are awarded to CPS elementary teachers who are interested in conducting action research.
Observe a grant-winning teacher in action in the classroom. Spend approximately 30 to 45 minutes observing a teacher implement their grant-winning project with their students. This activity is flexible and instrumental in the evaluation of our grants. Experience grants that you helped review and see great things happening in Chicago Public Schools!
Each year, CFE volunteers give short presentations to school faculties to inform teachers about our grants and programs. Visits are scheduled through CFE. This year we've targeted 53 schools and would love for experienced CFE volunteers to help.
