GrantsAlert.com Provides Teachers With Tools for Funding A Classroom

Tallahassee, Fla. –In the most recent MetLife Survey of the American Teacher (2005) teachers were asked: Which of the following is the biggest challenge that you face as a teacher? Next to communicating with and involving parents, teachers said their biggest challenge is getting sufficient resources and materials. From field trips to copy paper teachers are struggling and reaching into their own pockets to get the job done. Recent studies tell us that on average teachers in the United States spend approximately one billion dollars (about $512 per teacher) of their own money each year for instructional materials and classroom supplies.

One solution is being offered by www.GrantsAlert.com. “Our teachers and schools need help in finding and securing the resources they need to educate our kids.
