In the business world, ROI (Return On Investment) is a popular metric used to measure the effectiveness of time and money spent on a project. There are ways to apply this metric to the teaching world too! A good example of this is my grant writing effort for a NEA Foundation Learning and Leadership Grant.

Maryann Woods-Murphy, one of our 2011 Horace Mann Awards for Teaching Excellence Recipients, is blogging about the digital arts training her students received from Pearson Foundation as part of the awards program.
Each year, we partner with the Pearson Foundation to work with our awardees’ students to create video profiles of the teachers that are featured during the awards ceremony. Maryann’s video will premiere at our gala in February.
