LILLY ENDOWMENT ANNOUNCES 1990 CREATIVITY GRANTS!

In 1990 Lilly Endowment was again announced the Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program. The Endowment offered this competitive program to individuals who worked as licensed teachers, guidance counselors, principals and assistant principals in Indiana’s public, private and parochial schools for at least three years. The Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program supports creative projects that are personally renewing and intellectually revitalizing to individual Indiana teachers and education professionals. Personal renewal and individual intellectual growth are the primary goals of this program. The proposed projects should also contribute to students’ engagement and learning.
The Endowment granted up to 80 Teacher Creativity awards of $4,500 each. One of this years grant recipients was Maurice Costello, guidance counselor at Maconaquah High School located in Bunker Hill, Indiana. Proposals were judged on the substance, clarity, originality and feasibility of the projects. Evidence of imagination and creativity was the strongest feature of the funded proposals. Preference was given to proposals demonstrating that substantial thought was given to this renewal opportunity. The Endowment believes that engaged teachers, principals and assistant principals help produce engaged students.
