Let your idea take flight
Teachers know that learning doesn’t just happen within the curriculum or classroom. Often, it’s the ‘little bit extra’ that brings it to life.
Sitting on a great idea? It deserves funding
TIP came from an understanding of how difficult it can be to fund new teaching ideas or programs, and a belief that no teacher should have to spend their own salary to provide learning opportunities for kids.
Who can apply?
