(FOA)-Teachers
as Learners Program; May 8, 2019
Agency
Description
The
foundation has issued an RFP for pre-proposals for its Teachers as Leaners
(TAL) Program, which is aimed at understanding critical factors in the way
teachers process and evaluate information, as well as those that drive changes
in teacher attitudes, skills, and behaviors. Through the program, grants of up
to $2.5 million will be awarded to research projects focused on teacher
perception toward, as well as facilitation of, communication within the
classroom. Examples include teachers’ use of classroom questions, capacity to
guide collaborative discussions, and ability to elicit student explanations.
Digital, verbal, written, and gestural modes of communication will be
considered.
Teams must include teachers as fully integrated partners in the planning,
execution, and dissemination of the research.
