The TDI Grant Program for teachers and counselors encourages our educators to expand beyond standard practice and enhance student learning. Each TDI grant ($250-$5,000) provides our educators with an opportunity to exercise their passion for teaching, develop ideas, collaborate with colleagues, and connect with the wealth of knowledge, expertise and talent within MBUSD. Past TDI grants include the launching of a weather balloon, alternative classroom seating, and the building of a solar powered boat.
