Writing proposals?

I found out Wednesday I have $61,000 to spend on materials for my classroom (err...repurposed janitor's closet). I have ideas for some of it but need to write proposals for each item. I have NEVER done this before (I typically get $50 a year to spend...wahoo) so I was wondering if any teachers/professionals who have written proposals had and had any advice to formatting, what to include, etc.

Thanks!

Re: Writing proposals?

  • I used to just write the item and then a paragraph or so on how I planned on utilizing it in my classroom/curriculum.  Each district is different though so you may want to check with your supervisor on exactly what they are looking for.

    OK - I was thinking of something similar to that. (My plan was to do an outline type thing outlining grade levels, school, item, subject, use, benefit to students).

    I don't have anyone to ask really. :( I am in a private school and this money is grant money from Title I. Being that I work in DC we have no state govt so this goes directly to the feds and no one knows what they "want" since this is a new process to us. So I have to wing it but didn't really want to wing it if I could help it (and if that makes sense lol)

     

  • I have no experience writing proposals, but I just wanted to say how awesome for you to be receiving this money.  Your will be able to do so much for your kids!  Good luck :-)
