Grant Winners 2020

CITE is awarding 5 grants of $250 each, to teachers across the city, to replace the Teacher’s Choice money that teachers are not getting this year.

CITE is the Center for Integrated Training and Education. CITE partners with accredited colleges to offer accelerated degree and certificate programs for teachers, counselors, and administrators in and around NYC. See below for a full list of CITE partner programs.

This grant submission period opened October 20th. CITE received over 75 applications from all 5 boroughs of NYC. Applicants wrote about the needs of their classroom, and how the grant would help address those needs. By entering the contest, teachers and school professionals agreed to use the grant money to help fund their classroom projects, and to update CITE on when and how the money gets spent. CITE looks forward to sharing stories from the winners in the coming weeks.

We heard common issues from applicants: remote learning means new challenges, and schools are thinking outside of the box, adapting in amazing ways to make sure that all students have what they need to learn. We are impressed with the creativity that applicants spoke about in their classrooms and schools. We are happy to do what little we can to help.

CITE is proud to offer the $250 grants to the following teachers:

Jennifer Allende, PS 186, Bronx

Kayo Kudo, PS 147, Brooklyn

Denise Cruz, PS 173, Manhattan

Anastasia Smith, PS 166, Queens

Nancy Zazulka, IS 61, Staten Island
