Jump on this opportunity!

The National Education Foundation (NEA) has established an exciting new partnership with the US Department of Education.  This initiative, which we’re calling C2i, for Challenge to Innovate, is a call to action to all public school educators to identify and solve education’s most pressing classroom problems.

C2i is a web-based, open invitation to all public school educators that will be housed on the Department of Education’s Open Innovation Portal. The best ideas will receive cash awards from the NEA Foundation and may be selected for further development.

The NEA Foundation recognizes educators as adopters, adapters, and creators of both educational processes and products, and as agents who must organize, manage, and assume risks in solving problems.  Educators engage in―and lead―this creative process in their classrooms, schools, and communities.

Accept our challenge. Post your problem. Help us solve and share it and become eligible for additional funding and support.

I see this as an opportunity to take action on an idea that you are passionate about and who knows it might even land you a $1000.00. Let us know if you post so the Maine arts education community can go there and support your idea.
