 * This is your wiki to help in writing the grant. Everyone can write on these pages from anywhere, since it is online. This is a good page to jot down things that you want to remember to include in your grant. Each of the following pages has one of the questions for the grant.

Grant Proposals Submitted via CCIP Application Proposals must be complete, with all narrative sections, forms and budget page in alignment, and consistent with the comprehensive program performance goals. Proposals that are not complete will not be reviewed and scored.

Please note: The CCIP application tool has a 4,000 character per question/item limit. This translates to approximately one page of text-only information. Applicants are advised to be concise and direct when responding to the ARRA Title II-D competitive RFP application questions. While each item is given the 4,000 character, one-page limit, applicants are encouraged to submit focused responses to ensure that the desired information is provided for their unique and individual building application. Duplicate applications will not be reviewed or scored.

Here is a selection from the YCSD Technology Plan...this is the Mission Statement. It (parts and reference) needs to be included in your proposal. This is probably the easiest way to included. You can go to the link to read the whole plan, or read from your hard copy. Where do you think this stuff best fits? JW

Youngstown City School District (YCSD) believes technology is an indispensable tool, which enhances educational opportunities for staff and students. It is essential that all members of the learning community interact successfully with a technological environment to achieve their educational and job-related goals.

It is our intent to keep pace with current developments and provide equitable access to technology to facilitate curriculum integration. Therefore we believe that the immersion of technology in each classroom will accomplish the following: 1. Encourage students to use higher-order thinking skills 2. Communicate learning and gather information through a wide range of tools 3. Meet or exceed state Academic Content Standards (ACS) and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), known as No Child Left Behind, requiring students to become technologically literate by 8th grade 4. Give the students of YCSD the tools they need to solve problems and be successful life-long learners 5. Continue to move from traditional entry-level uses of technology to invention 6. Help students become more independent and accountable for their learning 7. Make classroom engagement more authentic, differentiated and relevant 8. Involve parents in their children's educational experience via district and teacher websites, homework websites, CCIP plans, strategic plan, etc. 9. Open doors to the world with up-to-the-minute information and virtual activities 10. Allow students to be technologically capable and competitively prepared for a global society
