REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
OTEN PROJECT MINI-GRANTS
The Department of Education TQE-P Grant, through the Oregon Technology in Education Network (OTEN) Consortium, is inviting proposals from Math and Science faculty and student teacher/mentor teachers for projects that will contribute to the preparation of technology-proficient educators. OTEN is prepared to award mini-grants of up to $1,000 in support of projects proposed by individuals or teams. The purpose of these mini-grants is to serve as a catalyst for helping faculty members and student teachers to increase their ability to utilize technology in the classroom. The proposals for the grants will be reviewed and awarded under the auspices of GFU-OTEN..
