Grants & Projects
In addition to serving the needs of individual teachers, the History Project partners with schools, districts and county offices of education to provide specific services. In many cases, HP has submitted grant proposals with local educational agencies. We also work with school, district and county officials to develop professional development plans including induction, NCLB compliance, and advanced certification. Contact us for more information about how we can tailor a program to meet your school's or district's needs.
