Applicants must currently be a classroom teacher in grades PK-6. Applicants can be individual classroom teachers or small groups of teachers collaborating in one grade or across grade levels. Past recipients of this grant are not eligible to reapply. The applicant must be a current Essential or Premium member of NCTM or teach at a school with a current membership.

The letter must confirm the applicant's teaching status, demonstrate strong support for the proposal and the applicant's ability to accomplish it, and verify the school demographics.
