MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership at Walden University will award up to $25,000 in grants to preK–12 schools that host Educator for a Day events on Thursday, Nov. 20. For the eighth year, Walden is offering the Educator for a Day grants as a call to action for teachers and administrators to invite aspiring educators, community leaders, parents and friends into their classrooms as "shadow teachers" to foster awareness of the need for more teachers and the benefits of the teaching profession.
Educators and administrators can nominate their schools at www.WaldenU.edu/educatorforaday. The deadline for nominations is Monday, Oct. 6. From those nominated, up to five schools will receive a $5,000 grant in support of their Educator for a Day events on Nov. 20, which falls during American Education Week (Nov. 17–21.)
Grants will be awarded based on answers to essay questions about what non-educators should know about the school, what makes the school unique and what the school would do with the grant. Schools must use the grant to enhance their classroom education, provide educational technology or supplies, or sponsor educational activities.
In 2013, Educator for a Day grants were awarded to schools in Los Angeles; Orlando, Florida; Lumberton, Mississippi and Tarboro, North Carolina. The schools used the funds to purchase materials to help teach Common Core State Standards and for literacy programs in grades 4–9, to purchase SMART Board interactive whiteboards for a library, to operate a positive behavior support program and to renovate and refurbish classrooms to enhance student participation in STEM programs.
"Walden's Educator for a Day grants further our mission to advance positive social change in our communities through the powerful impact of education," said Dr. Kate Steffens, dean of Walden's Riley College of Education and Leadership. "Thousands of students, teachers and administrators from across the country have benefited from this initiative since 2007 We are proud to offer grants that provide a creative incentive for schools to invite their community to experience firsthand all the great work they are doing every day."

Riley College of Education and Leadership at Walden University, accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), is the choice of more than 56,000 students and alumni who are leaders in their classrooms and schools, including more than 100 state teachers of the year.
