Student Voice in Education hosted by Connected Learning
Wednesday, December 11, 2019
4:00pm – 6:00pm at Hudson Elementary School
This evening will be about connecting with local educators who are working to disrupt the current educational landscape for the good of our learners. Our hope is that together we can create a new understanding of what education could be using student choice and voice to drive our curriculum, incorporate standards, and improve teaching practices.

Grant Opportunities:
- The Webster Groves School District iDEA Committee has developed a grant to support professional learning that enables teachers to implement innovative practices designed to enhance learning for all students. The purpose is not to supplement available general operating funds, but to provide money for a worthwhile project that would not otherwise be funded by the Webster Groves School District.
Application available upon request (see your building iDEA representative or visit the iDEA's website) - The WGSD Foundation awards two kinds of grants: Major Grants (from $1,001 to $15,000) and mini-grants (up to $1,000). These applications are available at www.wgsdfoundation.org. All applications must be signed off by the principal and directly submitted to info@wgsdfoundation.org.
