Each year, Washington Latin faculty have the opportunity to apply for an Inspire Grant, professional development opportunities provided thanks to the donations of our community to the Faculty Fund. The grants are open to a wide range of travel and other activities. Grantees made use of the summer for mountain climbing, participating in workshops, visiting museums, creating new curriculum, and meditating. In the years since the Inspire Grant program began, teachers have visited historical sites in New York, New Orleans, Puerto Rico, Israel, Rome, and other exotic locals. They studied classical literature, the Harlem Renaissance, Jazz Music, Geography, History, and Meditation. The purpose of the grants is to engage teachers in new and dynamic activities to help them recharge and reconceptualize their curricula and area of study, both to enrich teaching and learning and bolster teacher retention.
