Grant Programs


The Wisconsin Quality Educator Initiative PI 34 requires all school districts to provide a support system for initial educators. The grant programs below are resources to assist in providing that support.

Mentoring Grant for Initial Educators


School districts, agencies, and private schools are eligible for the 2009-10 Mentoring Grant for Initial Educators. Funds may be used to support quality mentors and for ongoing orientation and support seminars for licensed initial educators who are employed by your district and are in the first or second year of employment as an initial educator. Under s. 115.405(2m)(b), Wis. Stats., funding is determined by "the amount that the employer is spending to provide support for the initial educator, but not more than $375 per initial educator."

2009-10 Application Information - Completed application forms are due at DPI by November 6, 2009.
