Teachers will find this book easy to use and full of hints for writing a first grant or refining subsequent grants. I have both grant books that this writer did and they have helped my school to get dollars that we needed. A must have!

This review is from: Grant Writing for Teachers: If You Can Write a Lesson Plan You Can Write a Grant (Paperback)

After flipping through this book, I felt belittled and demeaned. This book is setup as though designed for a 4th grade student to write grants. The assumption put forth by its design and content is that teachers are either too inept or too stupid to understand the more sophisticated nuances of grant writing. I have read many other grant writing books (not specifically designed for teachers) and they are far more complex, filled with worthwhile content to assist one in writing effective grants. Space in this book is wasted on Mad Libs and crossword puzzles when it should be devoted to actual tips and strategies that will make grant writing a realistic and successful possibility for today's teachers. Very disappointing.

Teachers and administrators around the country are using this book as their #1 source for grant writing. It really works. In the past few weeks, I have heard from teachers who got [$$$] for a teen mentoring program and [$$$] for classroom book sets and field trips. One elementary school got 12 grants totaling almost [$$$] using the strategies. The money is there and this book can take you there!
