Grants for Innovative Teaching is a signature project of the Junior League of Dallas. Its purpose is to encourage and support excellence in teaching by awarding grants up to $1,500 to DISD teachers for special and innovative projects that otherwise would not be provided for in school budgets.
The Junior League of Dallas thanks the 2010-2011 sponsors of the Grants for Innovative Teaching program CHASE and Texas Instruments.
