Make It Happen in Your School

Note: 2008-2009 teams were selected in August. If interested in this program, watch for announcements in the spring!

Do you have a great idea for improving student achievement in your classroom or school, but don’t have the time or resources to implement it during the academic year?

Now you can make it happen!

AFRE's "Make It Happen" Educator Support Program provides teams of Arizona K-12 educators with the resources that they need to implement the knowledge and skills that they gain at AFRE’s summer academies.

Teams of two to five educators from your school are encouraged to develop an action research study that details how their learning can be used to address a specific problem or challenge in their classroom or on their campus.

Each member of the selected teams will receive up to $5,000 in support during the academic year, including:

• Additional professional development training
• Funds for substitute teachers
• Funds for classroom resources
• Regularly scheduled on-campus coaching
• Cash awards for individual team members

How to apply

Please note: This program is highly competitive! Only a few teams will be selected.
