HEAD OF SCHOOL INNOVATION GRANTS FOR FACULTY
The Faculty Innovation Grants Program encourages and supports the development of innovative and creative teaching and learning ideas. Established in 2023 by Head of School Dr. Edwin P. Gordon with funding from the 2023 Hats Off Gala, the grants are awarded for faculty professional development proposals that will lead to engaging and effective learning opportunities for students - above and beyond what is already offered in the academic program. The grant awards are announced in the spring each year.
