Educators truly are everyday heroes who make a difference in lives of their students , year after year . From the enormous responsibility of ensuring academic success in their classroom to continually developing ways to effectively teach and inspire , they deserve to be recognized and supported . To help ease the burden so that educators can focus on teaching and engaging with their students , the Cal Coast Cares Foundation has awarded its annual round of educator grants to fund innovative projects , which totaled $ 50,000 in 2022 .
These educator grants provide teachers in K-12 public , private or charter schools , community colleges and universities in San Diego or Riverside Counties with monetary support for classroom projects that are categorized within the STREAM fields ( Science , Technology , Reading , Engineering , Arts , and Math ). Projects funded produce enhanced learning outcomes and include a wide range of subjects such as robotics , chemistry , hydroponics , coding and visual arts .
