For the Module 2 Application, you used a current School Improvement Plan (SIP) to identify five instructional improvement targets at your school and select one target as your top priority for impacting student achievement.
In the Module 3 Application, your goal is to identify one evidence-based, cost-effective intervention for the instructional improvement target you identified in Module 2. A good place to start your research is the What Works Clearinghouse (Links to an external site.).
In addition, you will write a draft grant proposal for funding the intervention. Author Joanne Fritz has provided a grant-writing guide in her article, How to Write a Winning Grant Proposal (Links to an external site.).
Part 1: Intervention
Step 1. Conduct research to identify one intervention that matches your priority instructional improvement target and the target population(s) identified in the Module 2 Application.
Step 2. Evaluate the intervention on:
Research that supports the intervention: Find at least one research source for the intervention.
Effectiveness: How well has this intervention been shown to work?
Capacity of your school to implement the intervention with fiscal, human, and physical resources: Are the resources in place? What resources are needed?
Alignment with school goals: How does this intervention align with school goals for student achievement?
You may follow the Part 1 Outline below to structure your responses.
Step 3. Elaborate on your choice of the intervention by answering the questions a well-developed paragraph.
What decision-making process did you use to select the intervention? What was the most difficult part of the decision-making process?
How is the intervention superior to what is already in place at your school?
How does the intervention compare in terms of resources (fiscal, human, physical) to what is already in place at your school?

Part 2: Grant Proposal Draft
Step 1. Prior to writing the draft proposal, research possible funding groups and direct the proposal to the one you feel is most appropriate.
Step 2. Using Joanne Fritz’s steps in How to Write a Winning Grant Proposal, compose a draft grant proposal in which you seek funding for your selected intervention.
*Ensure that you use and reference the How to Write a Winning Grant Proposal (Links to an external site) & What Works Clearinghouse (Links to an external site.).
* In addition- use the previous paper- Data, Ethics and Priorities for reference on the School Improvement Plan (SIP) to identify five instructional improvement targets needed to complete the assignment*
