Perkins & Funding
Supplement your computer technology education classroom with Perkins grants
Your school may qualify for federal money under the recently reauthorized Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act. Among other things, the Perkins Act allows grant funds to be spent on supplemental materials for career and technical education programs, such as videos and DVDs, computer simulations, online tutorials, and workbooks. Such materials help you provide rigorous and challenging academic and career instruction for your students. They also help you plan and present varied, motivating activities (such as self-guided and team projects) and accommodate different learning styles.
