The competition, a recognition and reward opportunity for teachers who demonstrate innovative teaching strategies for the Georgia standards in English/Language Arts and Mathematics, is available through Georgia's Innovation Fund, a competitive grant program. Round five focused on rewarding innovative secondary and special education teachers.
Each winning teacher will receive a $2,000 stipend, and each teacher's school will receive a $5,000 grant for implementation of Georgia's instructional standards. In addition, Georgia Public Broadcasting will film the winning educators teaching in their classrooms during the 2014-2015 school year, as well as interview them about how they prepared the featured units.

The Real STEM program aims to reignite student interest in STEM, boost STEM achievement, and promote STEM careers.
Sponsored by GOSA's Innovation Fund, Real STEM recently received additional funds for an expansion to five more school districts.
