Butler Bears Back the Beach
Van R Butler Elementary
Our school is located a quarter mile from the beach, yet with as much waste as we accrue from people who reside here and people who visit here, we are not doing our part as a community in recycling. Landfills are where most of our waste goes due to there being a severe lack of recycling abilities in our county and landfills are not only unhealthy for the environment, but also for us to breathe in the air around us. Recycling is such a crucial contribution for everyone, and to be able to instill understanding into elementary students is a great place to start. Walton County does not provide recycling for its residents, unless they relocate the recycling on their own. Due to the lack of recycling capabilities, many of our students don’t truly know the impact recycling has on the planet. By bringing recycling to our school, we will provide education on why it is important and the impacts that it has. The goal for this grant, is to be able to bring light to the importance of recycling and teach our students not only how and what to recycle, but provide opportunities for them to see first-hand, how recycling impacts our community and local environment.

Math Builds Brighter Futures
Bay School
This school year, our overall school improvement goal in math is for our students to improve their score on a school based formative assessment by five or more questions or 100%. We have created a teacher formative assessment that consists of 25 questions that address each Florida standard to prepare out students for the next grade level. We believe that through hands on experiences, individualized instruction and one on one support that our students can improve and master the appropraite standards to score at or above expectations on the assessment. Currently, we only have about 5% who are at or exceeding expectations on our math assessment. Through this grant, we are striving to improve our school score and to provide resources to our students to improve their math knowledge and gain confidence in developing math skills as they continue on their academic journey.

Flexible Seating is Fun in Kindergarten
Van R Butler Elementary
Children are meant to move but they are so restricted in their day to day. They are expected to just sit at a desk and focus on their work. However, children are busy so this can be a challenge for some! They begin to tap their pencils on their desks, lean back and rock in their chairs, or find excuses to get out of their seats. Students have little to no say in how their classroom is presented to them. There is assigned seating and desks situated in groups or rows. I want to give some control to my students in their classroom, to give them the ability to decide what is the best choice for helping them feel comfortable in their environment to promote their best learning. I would like to give my students flexible seating options in my classroom.

Let's Make Mistakes
Bay School
I have noticed that in recent years, there is a lot of academic pressure placed on 3, 4 and 5 year olds. They are being asked to sit at a desk, use writing utensils and memorize the alphabet and spell words, not to mention memorize math facts and complete story problems. Research has shown that before students can sit at a desk and perform these activities, they need to develop fine and large motor skills.
My goal is to help my students understand that it is OK to make mistakes. In fact, Albert Einstein believed that making mistakes is an important part of the learning process. Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Creativity and Innovation concepts help to better prepare students to meet the demands of technology in the world around them. These concepts are more hands-on, which allow students to learn from their mistakes, making the learning so much more personal.

My goal is to provide my students who do not communicate well or can't verbalize any response, but are able touch to respond, the opportunities in the classroom that will enable them to become successful communicators for the rest of their lives with a device that will enhance and ensure success in and out of the classroom. Also, the goal is to increase receptive and expressive language in the classroom when working on their classwork that requires the utilization of technology to answer or advocate for themselves. The iPads will be used on a daily basis and will have a great impact on ensuring increased communication of what they know, what they can learn and express needs as they will regularly use technology for the rest of their lives. iPad's will decrease frustration, anxiety, and other behaviors when it comes to the traditional pencil and paper tasks, allowing them more opportunities to reach IEP goals, as well personal goals.
The technology programs the school district has for their curriculum is available on newer versions of technology devices. Laptops increase frustration and confusion for student who can only respond by pointing or touching. The keyboard on a computer is a distraction for our non-verbal students and limits their attention to learning. Also, the device offers guided access to ensure students will not wander off from the programs or curriculum or touch buttons that are not part of the lesson. The programs on the devices that students will be using on a daily basis will be individualized to meet each student's needs and offer them to work at their individualized pace. For example, students who are considered to be below grade level will be assigned material based on the skills that they need to be successful, with opportunities to have repeated practice on a device that can provide automatic feedback and limit distractibility.

ELEVATE
South Walton High School
The ELEVATE Leadership Program is designed to strengthen student-athletes’ ability to lead, communicate, and stay accountable—skills that directly translate into the classroom and across campus.
Need: Many student-athletes are placed into leadership roles on their teams or among their peers without structured training. As coaches, we often find that these student-athletes are not equipped for these leadership roles. The issues these young people face within their teams could be poor body language, conflict, or misplaced priorities, that not only affect athletics but also spill into the learning environment.
Objectives: ELEVATE provides structured leadership sessions that guide student-athletes through self-reflection, scenario-based learning, and group dialogue. The program develops confidence, composure, character, and accountability, while equipping students with strategies to manage pressure, resolve conflict, and encourage peers.
Impact on Achievement: By building these skills, students demonstrate greater self-discipline, stronger focus, and improved communication—leading to increased learning gains and proficiency. Students who see themselves as leaders are more likely to stay engaged in class, model positive behavior for peers, and apply problem-solving skills beyond sports. The result is a ripple effect: player-led leadership within their team settings, stronger classroom performance, a healthier school culture, and a more connected student body.

Flexible Seating
Van R Butler Elementary
Children are naturally active and learn most effectively when their physical and sensory needs are supported. However, traditional classroom environments often require students to remain seated in fixed positions for extended periods, which can negatively affect concentration and lead to off-task behaviors. These behaviors are not acts of defiance but rather signs that the learning environment is not meeting the developmental needs of young learners.
This project aims to improve student achievement by transforming the classroom into a more responsive and student-centered space through the use of flexible seating. By offering options such as wobble stools and other movement-friendly seating choices, students will be empowered to select seating that helps them stay focused, comfortable, and engaged. When students feel physically supported and have choice in their learning environment, they are more likely to take ownership of their behavior and academic responsibilities.
Flexible seating supports the development of critical executive functioning skills such as self-regulation, sustained attention, and decision-making—skills that are essential for academic success. As a result, students are expected to demonstrate increased time on task, higher levels of participation, and improved work completion.
To evaluate the effectiveness of this project, I will track student engagement, behavior, and productivity using classroom data such as task completion rates and the frequency of redirections. My goal is to see a measurable increase in focus and academic performance throughout the 2025–26 school year. In the long term, this flexible seating initiative will continue to foster a positive and productive learning environment that benefits both current and future students.

Seeds of Success: Agriculture for All Learners
Freeport High School
This project will directly support student achievement by giving second-year agriculture students a hands-on opportunity to apply their classroom learning to a real-world challenge. Our students have already demonstrated proficiency by earning an industry certification, and this project builds on that success by advancing their technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork. The need addressed is the improvement of the existing irrigation system for five raised beds in our outdoor growing area, which currently requires frequent manual watering and does not provide consistent coverage.
The objective is for students to research, design, and construct an improved irrigation system that is efficient, sustainable, and aligned with best practices in modern agriculture. Once the raised bed irrigation is improved, students will expand their design skills by addressing various hydroponic systems currently being used. These systems need adjustments and modifications that will not only increase yield but also make them easier to manage on a daily basis. Through this process, students will strengthen their understanding of water management, soil and soilless plant production, and sustainable agriculture techniques.
By engaging in this multi-phase project, students will enhance critical thinking, collaboration, and project-planning skills—competencies that translate into measurable learning gains and increased proficiency across agricultural and STEM standards. Ultimately, this project empowers students to move beyond theory into applied practice. It creates a learning environment where they can see the impact of their decisions on crop yield and plant health, reinforcing mastery of academic content while preparing them for postsecondary education and careers in agriculture and related industries.

Dream Big, Read Bigger
Dune Lakes Elementary School
Many of my students are beginning readers who need daily opportunities to practice with a wide variety of texts. At this stage, quantity matters. A strong classroom library should include hundreds of books so students can easily find titles at their level, revisit favorites for fluency, and explore new stories that challenge and excite them. Right now, my library is too limited to provide this level of choice and exposure.
By adding a greater number of books, this project will:
*Increase reading volume by giving students more opportunities to read multiple books each week, a key driver of early literacy growth.
*Support skill development by offering enough leveled books for students to practice decoding, fluency, and comprehension daily.
*Build confidence by ensuring new readers can consistently find texts that match their ability, helping them feel successful as they progress.
*Encourage independence by providing enough titles for frequent book exchanges so students always have something “just right” to read.
*Boost achievement as more practice with a variety of books leads directly to improved proficiency and long-term reading gains.
Expanding the classroom library with a larger quantity of high-interest, level-appropriate books will create a reading-rich environment where every student has the resources they need to grow from new readers into fluent, confident ones.

Ag-Xcelerate: Hands-On Agriculture for Student Achievement
Freeport High School
The goal of this project is to enhance student achievement through hands-on, inquiry-based agricultural learning experiences. Currently, students have limited access to the hand tools and materials necessary to fully engage in applied agricultural practices. Without adequate supplies such as soil, pots, clippers, and hydroponic materials, learning is restricted to theory rather than practice, limiting student proficiency in both agricultural skills and broader problem-solving abilities.
This project will provide the resources and materials needed for students to maintain real-world agricultural systems, from traditional gardening to growing beds, and then to the implementation of various hydroponic setups. These experiences will foster critical thinking, collaboration, and innovation while reinforcing key concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
By engaging almost 200 students—including traditional learners, those often in self-contained classrooms, and students with exceptional abilities —the project ensures equitable access to meaningful, hands-on opportunities that connect classroom knowledge to practical applications. These experiences will lead to measurable learning gains by ensuring students both earn a year of science credit by successfully passing Agriscience Foundations 1 and earn an acceleration point by successfully passing at least one industry standard certification that benefits the entire school community because acceleration points is part of the school grade calculation. Last year, there were 5 classes with one teacher in Agriscience Foundations 1 (100 students). All students earned science credit, and 95 of the 100 students earned an acceleration point. This year there are almost double the number of students enrolled (almost 200 students in 8 courses with two instructors. This grant will be used to expand the available materials for students to use to fully participate in agriculture (both the vegetable and nursery industry).
Ultimately, this project empowers students to grow both knowledge and confidence, equipping them with skills that will support lifelong learning and future career readiness.

'AR to the Rescue!'
Walton Intensity School of Excellence
Our project seeks to increase student literacy achievement by creating accessible, engaging classroom libraries and by providing meaningful reading incentives for students who reach personal goals in Accelerated Reader by earning AR Points.
Currently, our school does not have a dedicated library space, which limits students' access to high interest, age-appropriate books. Many of our students are striving to build positive reading habits and improve their reading comprehension and fluency, but their opportunities to explore books that match their interest and reading levels need to be expanded.
Students at our school often enter below grade level in reading proficiency, which presents a need for strong initiatives that deliberately target improving literacy among students. Without a school library, they have limited exposure to various literature, genres, and authors that can foster a lifelong love of reading. Providing well-stocked classroom libraries will allow students immediate access to books during class and free reading time, removing the barrier of limited resources.
Objectives:
1. Increase Reading Engagement: Encourage students to read more frequently by offering a wider selection of high interest books that are available to them.
2. Promote Literacy Growth: Support measurable gains in reading comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency through consistent, self-selected reading and AR goal setting.
3. Foster a Reading Culture: Recognize and celebrate reading achievement through tangible rewards, helping students associate reading success with intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
4. Support Learning Gains: Use AR data and STAR Reading Assessment data to monitor progress, aiming for measurable learning gains in reading proficiency between September 2025 through March 2026.

Classroom Literacy
Freeport Elementary
Currently, 69% of students in my second-grade classroom are reading below grade level based on benchmark assessments and progress monitoring data. Many of these students struggle with phonics, decoding, and reading fluency, which directly impacts comprehension and overall academic achievement. By providing the resources and structured support necessary to meet diverse reading needs, we can transform struggling readers into confident, proficient learners. This initiative will not only raise proficiency levels in second grade but also set a strong foundation for future academic succes.
Second grade is a critical year for literacy development — it is the stage where students transition from “learning to read” to “reading to learn.” Without targeted support and engaging reading interventions, these students risk falling further behind across all content areas.
Additionally, limited classroom resources and outdated leveled texts restrict opportunities for differentiated instruction. There is a need for high-interest, leveled reading materials, interactive literacy centers, and digital supports to foster engagement and strengthen foundational reading skills.

“The Market of Make-Believe Farmers Market: Dramatic Play That Grows Real Math Skills”
Freeport Elementary
The Market of Make-Believe Farmers Market Dramatic Play Center will increase student achievement by providing a hands-on, accessible, and engaging way for students with disabilities to practice both functional and academic math skills. Through dramatic play experiences such as shopping, sorting produce, counting money, and measuring items, students will connect imagination with real-world application. This center will foster gains in early numeracy, functional independence, and communication, while also promoting social interaction and classroom community.
Many of our special education students require concrete, hands-on learning experiences to build understanding of abstract math concepts. Traditional paper-pencil tasks often do not meet their needs or provide enough opportunities for meaningful practice. Students benefit most from instruction that includes multiple opportunities for practice with visual supports, manipulatives, and role-play, all of which increase retention and generalization of skills. In addition, real-world math concepts—such as money use, measurement, and sorting—are essential life skills but can be difficult to embed without authentic contexts. The farmers market play center creates a natural, motivating environment where these skills can be taught and reinforced.
The objectives of this project are multi-layered. Students will demonstrate progress in functional math skills such as counting, identifying coins and bills, making simple exchanges, and measuring produce, with growth documented through their individualized education program (IEP) goals and progress monitoring data. The center will also increase student engagement, as students are more likely to participate in market play when props, visuals, and adult support are provided. Equally important, the play environment will foster communication and social interaction, giving students opportunities to practice role-play language such as, “I would like to buy…” or “Here is your change,” while developing turn-taking, requesting, and shared attention. Finally, students will generalize their skills beyond the center by transferring what they learn to classroom activities, community outings, and other functional tasks.
The impact on student achievement will be significant. By embedding math instruction in a high-interest, meaningful setting, students will receive repeated, scaffolded practice that supports their academic and functional growth. They will build functional independence in money use, counting, and measuring while simultaneously developing communication and social skills that are critical for daily living. Just as importantly, they will gain confidence and ownership of their learning through imaginative role-play, which supports motivation and self-regulation. This project will directly support students’ IEP goals, strengthen math readiness, and create measurable learning gains, while also fostering inclusion, engagement, and a strong sense of classroom community.

Beyond the Surface: Annotate. Discuss. Analyze
South Walton High School
The goal of this project is to improve student achievement in AP Language by strengthening the skills students need across all three essay types: rhetorical analysis, argument, and synthesis. Students will use purposeful annotation, Socratic seminars, and collaborative activities to analyze complex texts, discuss multiple perspectives, select strong evidence, and develop meaningful commentary before applying these skills independently in writing.
A major focus will be helping students move beyond simply identifying or using evidence to clearly explaining how and why that evidence supports their reasoning. Students will also practice developing more sophisticated analysis by recognizing relationships, tensions, significance, and complexity within texts and arguments.
Student growth will be measured using AP-style writing assessments and the College Board six-point rubrics, with a specific focus on improvement in Evidence and Commentary and Sophistication. The overall goal is to build stronger, more confident analytical writers and increase student proficiency and success on the AP Language exam.

Attacking the Literary Crisis One Page at a Time
Walton High School
A recent study shows that one third, or 32%, of all graduating seniors in the United States perform below the basic reading level. Social media and digital screens are partially to blame for this. Instead of turning pages of a book and getting lost in another world, children spend hours a day skimming and scanning. This leads to spatial memory loss. Turning pages of a books helps the brain to map information visually and structurally. I intend to use this grant to purchase novels for novel studies in my classroom. I want to help my students to find books that they can connect with. These books will be modern, engaging, and Florida approved texts that will allow students to connect with the stories. The hope is to inspire more reading in my students and improve skills that they will need in college and life. When given a pre-test specifically targeting text analysis only 41% of students in my English IV classes passed with a 60% or higher. I would like to improve that percentage to 75% by the end of their senior year.

Van R Butler Elementary
Goal
The goal of this project is to increase student achievement, learning gains, and proficiency in mathematics and science while addressing the achievement gap for English Language Learners (ELLs) through meaningful, hands-on learning experiences.
Our School Improvement Plan data shows 86% overall math achievement compared to 65% for ELL students, and 73% overall science achievement compared to 42% for ELL students. These results demonstrate a need for engaging, accessible learning opportunities that strengthen conceptual understanding, increase proficiency, and provide additional ways for ELL students to access and demonstrate their learning.
Through this project, students will apply grade-level skills in measurement, geometry, problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and properties of materials as they design, build, test, and improve solutions to real-world challenges. These experiences also provide an early introduction to Career and Technical Education (CTE) skills and career pathways, including engineering, construction, design, architecture, and other STEM-related fields. Students will develop foundational skills in planning, tool use, safety, collaboration, problem-solving, and the engineering design process that connect classroom learning to real-world applications.
Hands-on learning will make abstract concepts more visual and concrete while providing opportunities for students to develop academic vocabulary, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Project objectives include:
• Increase student proficiency in targeted math and science standards.
• Strengthen student learning gains through repeated application of grade-level concepts.
• Provide additional opportunities for ELL students to access and demonstrate understanding of math and science concepts.
• Reduce the achievement gap between overall student performance and ELL student performance.
• Develop foundational CTE and STEM skills through authentic engineering and design experiences.
• Increase student awareness of how math and science connect to real-world careers and career pathways.
Student growth will be monitored through standards-aligned assessments, classroom assessments, student work samples, STEM performance tasks, and teacher observations. Beginning-, mid-, and end-of-year data will be used to monitor progress, identify areas needing additional support, and evaluate the project's impact on student proficiency and learning gains.
This project directly supports our School Improvement Plan by increasing proficiency, strengthening learning gains, addressing achievement gaps, and providing rigorous, accessible learning opportunities for all students while connecting classroom learning to CTE and STEM career applications.

History You Can Hold: An Immersive American History Investigation Lab
Freeport Middle School
History You Can Hold will establish a shared, reusable American History Investigation Lab serving approximately 500 sixth- and eighth-grade students across six classrooms. The project will improve students’ ability to examine historical evidence, evaluate the reliability and perspective of sources, distinguish evidence from inference, and construct conclusions supported by evidence.
Students often encounter history after a textbook or teacher has already explained what happened. This project will reverse that sequence. Students will first encounter replica artifacts, primary-source reproductions, maps, letters, images, and competing accounts. They will use that evidence to develop hypotheses, reconsider their thinking as new information is introduced, and defend their conclusions.
Historical costumes and character-based storytelling will create an immersive entry point, while investigation kits will place the intellectual work in students’ hands. The project will be led by two teachers and shared across six American History classrooms during a two-grade-level curriculum transition.
By April 2027, at least 75% of participating students will demonstrate growth in their ability to interpret historical sources and support a conclusion with relevant evidence, as measured through a common pre- and post-performance task and an evidence-based response rubric. The project supports campus goals related to student achievement, critical thinking, literacy across subject areas, collaboration, and active engagement in learning.

Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle!
Dune Lakes Elementary School
You may be wondering what “wiggle” would have to do with the classroom. When you have energetic kids who are required to do so much “seat time” they need extra wiggle time to really benefit from the full day. In doing so this helps students who struggle to be still, constantly need to move or stand up, or have a hard time keeping their body in their space. Our school SIP plan has a goal of reducing office referrals and oftentimes it is due to children who need more “wiggles” than others because of self-control issues. It is interesting to know that research has shown that students who use a wobble stool stay in their seats more than students who sit in traditional school chairs. Wobble stools have been known to help improve behavior and increase focus for some students as well. I am requesting a grant for wobble stools to help those students be able to “wiggle while they work”.

Robots, Reasoning, and Real-World Learning
Mossy Head Elementary
This project will give students the chance to use what they are learning in math, science, and technology in a hands-on and meaningful way. Through robotics and coding challenges, students will work with skills such as measurement, patterns, sequencing, problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and logical thinking. Instead of only practicing these skills on paper, students will be able to apply them while building, testing, and improving their own designs.
One of my main goals is to help students become stronger and more confident problem solvers. Students will learn that their first idea may not always work, and that is okay. They will have opportunities to test solutions, figure out what went wrong, make changes, and try again. This process builds perseverance and encourages students to think more deeply about their learning.
Student growth will be measured through teacher observation, completion of coding and engineering challenges, student reflections, and their ability to explain their thinking. I will also look for growth in teamwork, communication, independence, and the ability to troubleshoot problems without immediately giving up.
This project supports school improvement goals by strengthening skills connected to math, science, critical thinking, and student engagement. It also gives students access to STEM experiences that they may not otherwise have. My hope is that students will not only improve academically, but also become more curious, confident, and willing to take on challenging tasks in the classroom.

Luminaria CTE Innovation Lab: Applied Technical Design, Structural Prototyping & Public Exhibition Production
Seaside School
This initiative establishes a rigorous Career and Technical Education (CTE) fabrication unit directly aligned with two state-recognized career pathways: Arts, A/V Technology & Communications (Visual/Industrial Design) and Engineering & Technology (Lighting Systems and Rapid Prototyping). Over the course of the 2026–2027 school year, the project will directly impact 120 students across two distinct cohorts (Fall/Semester 1; Spring/Semester 2).
Rather than treating design as purely aesthetic, this project positions students as industrial design technicians, electrical assemblers, and exhibition production managers. Students utilize historical Japanese paper craft (Washi / rice paper joinery) as a technical case study in sustainable structural engineering and material tension. Combining traditional joinery with modern lighting options and structural armature design, students complete an end-to-end CTE product lifecycle.
Primary CTE Objectives & Technical Learning Gains:
Structural Engineering & Load Calculations: Students will build custom 3D armatures using flexible netting and, wire, calculating tensile strength and surface-area-to-weight ratios to support paper skinning without structural collapse.
Technical Drafting & Blueprint Proficiency: Students will transform 2D vector schematics into fully realized 3D physical prototypes scaled for public installation environments.
Exhibition Production & Workflow Logistics: Students will operate in specialized CTE project roles (Project Manager, Electrical Systems Lead, Materials Specialist, Safety Inspector) to execute a large-scale, professional public exhibition installation.
Alignment to School Improvement Plan (SIP):

Math in Motion: A Legacy That Travels
Emerald Coast Middle School
Middle and high school gifted students will strengthen their mathematical reasoning, problem-solving, communication, and ability to use evidence through a service-learning project that creates reusable, movement-based math games for second-grade learners at two elementary schools. Students will survey elementary teachers, students, and administrators to identify challenging mathematics concepts, analyze the responses, and select a priority Florida Grade 2 B.E.S.T. benchmark for each game. Depending on the identified needs, games may address addition and subtraction, place value and number sense, odd/even numbers and early multiplication, or repeated addition and equal groups.
Students will research math benchmarks that could be practiced through movement and play, develop tabletop game prototypes, test mathematical accuracy and usability, and use feedback to refine their designs before producing two portable court-game kits. To demonstrate achievement, each design team will explain the mathematics underlying its game, justify design decisions with survey and testing data, document at least one evidence-based revision, and produce clear instructions and a brief assessment aligned to the selected benchmark. Middle and high school students’ growth will be measured by comparing initial and final performance on a common rubric assessing mathematical reasoning, problem-solving, evidence-based decision-making, and communication, supported by individual reflections and explanations.

Reading in Theory: Transforming Every Day Literacy
Seaside School
Students are increasingly entering our schools at varying levels of literacy. Simultaneously, we are charged with teaching specific grade level standards. A paid subscription to Readtheory.org will help bridge that gap. Because the program is adaptive, it provides passages at the level the student is currently mastering and adjusts as necessary. This can provide much needed differentiation in addition to what classroom teachers already provide. This allows the differentiation to occur while students work independently.
Much of what we do in class is analog, so this will not be just another computer program. This program provides wonderful feedback for teachers, including current Lexile, performance metrics mapped to learning targets, tracks completion rates and quizzes taken, as well as gives benchmark scores. Teachers can use the reports in a variety of ways to serve their students and I plan to incentivize with contests. Not just highlighting the highest achieving readers but those who spend the most time or move up levels or earn what is known as 'Knowledge Points' in Read Theory.
40% of the 5th graders are not at grade level as of PM1. With the aid of this program, I intend to reduce that number to 25% at PM2 and 10% by PM3.

Equal Access Adds Up
Paxton School
The goal of this project is to give approximately 180 students in grades 8–12 equal access to the calculators they need for math instruction. Currently, only about 20% of students have their own calculator, placing many students at a disadvantage based on their family’s ability to purchase one.
This project supports the school improvement priority of increasing math achievement and preparing students for advanced coursework and postsecondary success. The current average across mathematics courses in grades 8–12 is 80%. By the end of the 2026–27 school year, the goal is to increase that average to at least 85% by removing barriers to calculator access and giving students the tools needed to participate fully in daily instruction, practice, and assessments.
Students will regularly use the same type of state-allowed calculator that they can use on the FAST mathematics assessment. This consistent practice will build confidence and familiarity with calculator functions while reducing students’ dependence on an unfamiliar on-screen tool. The classroom sets will also ensure that every student has access to an appropriate handheld calculator during daily instruction and FAST testing, supporting greater proficiency and more equitable opportunities for success. Access to the appropriate calculators will help students succeed in advanced mathematics courses and prepare them for college-level math.

Tonie all about it
Freeport Learning Center
A preschool library with Tonieboxes would create a fun, engaging, and hands-on learning environment where children can develop important early childhood skills through storytelling, music, and imaginative play. Written by a fellow teacher, as a school we received a ten thousand school library grant through St. Joe. We just starting ordering items but after collaborating with fellow educators, we would like to achieve purchasing Tonieboxes, with accessories, to make it into another center within our library. Listening to stories helps preschoolers build vocabulary, improve comprehension, recognize story sequences, and develop a love for books. Tonieboxes encourage children to listen carefully, follow along with stories, and strengthen their ability to focus. Children can select Tonie characters, start stories, and make choices independently, building confidence and decision-making skills. Listening to stories encourages children to visualize characters, imagine settings, and explore creative ideas. A cozy library with gentle stories and calming music provides a peaceful space where children can relax, manage emotions, and take a break from busy classroom activities. Not only will it enhance students skills, but it will also prepare those going to kindergarten to be familiar with a library and the expectations with their future librarian.

Ink It to Think It!
Dune Lakes Elementary School
This project will allow me to provide more engaging, explicit, and interactive instruction to my fourth-grade students while supporting increased student achievement in reading and writing. By incorporating a Wacom Creative Pen Tablet with my classroom's Clear Touch interactive display, I will be able to model reading strategies, annotate texts, demonstrate writing techniques, and provide immediate visual feedback while remaining close to my students.
My primary goal is to increase student proficiency and learning gains on the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) English Language Arts (ELA) assessment. I will use this technology to model essential reading comprehension strategies, including identifying main ideas, determining themes, making inferences, analyzing vocabulary in context, and citing relevant text evidence. I will also use the tablet to demonstrate how to organize written responses, construct complete sentences, and revise and improve writing.
This project will support my school's School Improvement Plan (SIP) goals of increasing ELA proficiency, improving student learning gains, and providing differentiated, standards-based instruction for the lowest 25% of our school. I will use this technology during whole-group lessons, small-group instruction, and individual conferences to provide clear examples, immediate feedback, and targeted support based on student needs.
My measurable objectives for this project are to:
1. Increase the percentage of my students demonstrating proficiency on the FAST ELA assessment from PM1 to PM3 from 33% to 60%.
2. Improve student performance on classroom reading comprehension assessments by at least 10 percentage points over the course of implementation.
3. Strengthen my students' ability to identify and cite relevant text evidence when answering comprehension questions.
4. Increase opportunities for differentiated instruction, explicit teacher modeling, and immediate corrective feedback.
I will monitor student progress using FAST progress-monitoring data, Benchmark Advance assessments, classroom formative assessments, and student writing samples.
Through this project, I will create a more interactive and accessible learning environment where my students can clearly see reading and writing strategies in action. I believe this technology will help me reach more students, address individual learning needs, increase student engagement, and ultimately improve academic achievement and learning gains in my fourth-grade ELA classroom.

Can you see me now?
Emerald Coast Middle School
Last year, learning gains among our English Language Learners (ELL) and Exceptional Student Education (ESE) students represented our greatest area for improvement. This year, my goal is to foster a love of reading by encouraging students to explore books that align with their individual interests, whether fiction or nonfiction.
To support this goal, I plan to increase student engagement with library resources by promoting browsing, discovery, and access to new titles while creating a warm, welcoming environment in the Library Media Center. Face-out book displays, known as dynamic shelving, will be a key strategy, as colorful, graphic book covers are often the first element that captures a reader’s attention and encourages selection. These displays make it easier for students to discover new authors, series, and topics, helping them find selections they may not have otherwise considered and ultimately increasing interest in reading for pleasure.
Bookmarks will be distributed with each checked-out book to encourage proper book care and support positive reading habits. Providing bookmarks to students, particularly those in our ELL and ESE populations who may not have access to these resources at home, helps create a more inclusive library experience. This small incentive promotes a sense of belonging, encourages independent reading, and provides students with the same opportunities and tools as their peers.

Unlocking Academic Research Through JSTOR: Building College Ready Researchers Across the Curriculum
Magnet Innovation Center
The goal of this project is to provide students with consistent access to high quality, scholarly, and credible academic resources through the JSTOR database, strengthening research, critical thinking, information literacy, evidence-based writing, and college-readiness skills across multiple advanced academic courses. The project will serve students in AP Seminar, AP Research, AP U.S. History, AP World History, AP Government, and science courses, creating a shared research resource that can be used across disciplines.
JSTOR provides access to 2,700+ leading academic journals, more than 2 million primary sources across four collections, 93,000+ academic eBooks from 115+ publishers, and more than 2 million high-quality images through Artstor on JSTOR. These resources give high school students access to the types of scholarly materials they will encounter in college and allow them to practice authentic academic research before they enter higher education.
Student achievement will be impacted by moving students beyond reliance on general Internet searches toward the purposeful use of scholarly journals, primary sources, academic books, and credible visual resources. Students will learn to locate appropriate sources, evaluate credibility and relevance, analyze arguments and evidence, synthesize information from multiple sources, and properly incorporate research into their own writing and presentations.
The project directly supports our school's academic goals related to academic rigor, literacy across the curriculum, college and career readiness, critical thinking, and evidence-based learning. For the 2026–2027 school year, our goal is for 100% of students in both 9th- and 10th-grade ELA to demonstrate proficiency on the Florida statewide ELA BEST PM 3 assessment. When students are exposed to high-quality academic scholarly sources, their reading comprehension, critical thinking, and analysis skills improve tenfold. It will also support the development of transferable research skills that students can apply regardless of their intended college major or career pathway.

Growing for the Future: Revitalizing a Student-Built Garden and Expanding Year-Round Agricultural Learning
Freeport High School
The goal of this project is to improve student achievement in Agriscience Foundations, Agritechnology, Aquaculture, Natural Resources, Biology, Biology Honors, AP Biology, and Culinary through hands-on instruction in plant science, horticulture, sustainable agriculture, and environmental stewardship. Funding from this grant will provide the materials needed to revitalize an established outdoor garden, replenish raised-bed soil, expand the fruit-tree orchard started last year, start crops in the greenhouse, and increase seasonal crop production in a one-acre field recently installed with an irrigation system.
Over the past seven years, students have helped develop an outdoor learning environment featuring many resources: three cinder block raised beds, four movable wooden raised beds, a canopy-covered growing area, numerous potted plants, a small greenhouse, a developing fruit-tree orchard, and a one-acre field just added last year. This project will build on those investments by restoring these existing growing areas and expanding opportunities for agricultural production and scientific investigation.
Our agriculture program has demonstrated significant growth and student achievement. In its first year, the program offered one Agritechnology class and students earned 10 industry certifications. By last school year, the program had expanded to two career pathways, Agritechnology and Aquaculture, with eight classes offered and 232 industry certifications earned. During the 2026–27 school year, our program expanded even further to include three career pathways: Agritechnology, Aquaculture, and Natural Resources, with 11 total classes offered from three different instructors. An established partnership already connects the Agriculture, Biology, and Culinary departments. The lead Biology instructor and Culinary instructor incorporate existing hydroponic growing towers into their instructional areas. These systems allow students to explore plant growth and related biological concepts, while providing opportunities for Culinary students to work with fresh herbs and lettuce in food preparation. Grant funding will strengthen this existing collaboration by connecting classroom hydroponic production with the outdoor garden, greenhouse, orchard, and one-acre field. Students will be able to compare growing methods, investigate the factors that influence plant development, and connect sustainable food production with food preparation and use. Building on the successes of all three departments will create more connected learning experiences and make better use of existing educational resources.
The requested funding will provide supplies that students across these agricultural pathways can use to apply curriculum concepts, prepare for industry certification assessments, and develop practical skills. The project will directly benefit more than 175 students in seven Agriscience Foundations classes, nearly 200 students in eight Biology, Biology Honors, and AP Biology classes, and almost 100 Culinary students in five classes. These figures represent student enrollments across the three program areas and may include students enrolled in more than one course. Grant-funded activities will create opportunities to connect agriculture, science, and culinary instruction through authentic, hands-on experiences. Some students will engage with the project at multiple stages, allowing them to follow the process from seed germination and plant growth through harvesting and food preparation. These repeated, connected experiences will reinforce classroom learning, strengthen understanding across disciplines, and demonstrate how agricultural production connects to the food students prepare and consume.
Grant funding will strengthen this relationship by expanding opportunities for students to connect classroom learning with hands-on experiences in the outdoor garden, greenhouse, orchard, field, and existing hydroponic systems. By building on the successes of these departments, this project will create a more connected learning environment in which students can apply scientific concepts, develop agricultural skills, and better understand the relationship between food production and the natural environment.
Agriculture students will develop skills in soil preparation, seed starting, planting, irrigation, crop management, and sustainable agricultural production. Biology students will connect classroom instruction to real-world investigations of plant growth, soil composition, nutrient availability, photosynthesis, ecosystems, and the environmental factors that affect living organisms. Culinary students will have the experiences of fresh harvest, food preparation and storage, and food presentation. All students will observe the growing process, from seed germination and greenhouse propagation to field planting, plant development, and harvest.
Beyond academic achievement, this project will help develop the next generation of environmental stewards who understand and value their local environment and community. Students will practice leadership, responsibility, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and accountability while working toward shared goals. These transferable skills are essential for success in whatever future career path students choose.
Project success will be measured through student participation, classroom assessments, industry certification results, successful seed germination and crop establishment, completed garden improvements, and documented crop production. This initiative will build on the agriculture program's record of growth while supporting student achievement, career readiness, scientific inquiry, and environmental stewardship.

Sustainable Natural Resource Management: Turning Forest By-Products into Agricultural Resources
Freeport High School
The goal of this project is to improve student achievement in Introduction to Natural Resources 2 and AP Environmental Science through hands-on instruction in sustainable forestry management and resource conservation. Funding will provide a woodchipper and twine for an existing pine straw baler, allowing students to transform forest by-products into useful materials for school horticulture and landscaping projects.
Students will connect classroom learning to real-world applications by maintaining forested areas, processing fallen trees and branches, harvesting pine straw, and learning the value of renewable natural resources. AP Environmental Science students will benefit from observing sustainable land management practices and exploring connections between agriculture, ecosystems, and environmental stewardship.
This project will serve 24 students enrolled in Introduction to Natural Resources 2 and 48 students enrolled in AP Environmental Science, for a total of 72 students. These are the first classes offered in these courses, making it especially important to establish strong learning opportunities and measurable student achievement outcomes.
The agriculture program’s growth demonstrates the value of expanding career and technical education. In its first year, one Agritechnology class earned 10 industry certifications. During the 2025–26 school year, the program offered 10 classes across Agritechnology and Aquaculture and students earned 232 industry certifications. In 2026–27, the program has expanded to 11 classes across three pathways: Agritechnology, Aquaculture, and Natural Resources. This grant supports the new Natural Resources pathway by providing equipment and hands-on experiences that complement classroom instruction and career preparation.
A primary objective is to strengthen students’ proficiency in Natural Resources concepts and prepare agriculture students to earn industry certifications by the end of the 2026–27 school year. Students entering Introduction to Natural Resources 2 have already earned at least one industry certification in their earlier agriculture coursework. The goal for this project is for at least 50% of the 24 students enrolled in Natural Resources 2 (12 students) to earn a Natural Resources industry certification.
For AP Environmental Science, the goal is for at least 69% of enrolled students (34 of 48 students) to earn a score of 3 or higher on the AP exam, qualifying them for potential college credit based on the policies of the receiving college or university. These outcomes support student achievement, career readiness, and school improvement efforts because industry certification attainment contributes directly to the school’s overall grade, while AP exam success can provide students with an opportunity to earn college credit.
Project success will be measured through industry certification results, AP exam scores, classroom assessments, documented student participation, and completed forestry and horticulture projects. By combining practical experience with academic instruction, this initiative will strengthen student proficiency while supporting schoolwide achievement.

This project will give our Pre-K students a fun, hands-on way to build important early learning skills through dramatic play. By creating a laundry center in our classroom, students will have opportunities to practice math, literacy, language, and social skills while taking part in real-life activities they are familiar with.
Students will be able to sort laundry by color, size, and type, match socks, count clothing items, create patterns, and practice folding and hanging clothes. We will also include picture labels, order forms, and signs to encourage letter recognition, vocabulary development, and early writing skills. These activities will allow students to practice skills we are already working on during whole-group and small-group instruction in a fun and meaningful way.
One of our biggest goals is to increase student engagement while helping students make learning gains. Young children learn best when they are actively involved, and dramatic play allows them to practice important skills without even realizing they are learning. This center will also encourage students to work together, communicate with one another, solve problems, and build independence.
Our goals for this project include:
At least 80% of students will show growth in two or more targeted skills, such as sorting, matching, counting, or vocabulary.
Students will improve their ability to recognize numbers, count with one-to-one correspondence, and sort objects by different attributes.
Students will strengthen their communication, cooperation, problem-solving, and fine motor skills through daily play experiences.
We will track student progress using teacher observations, skill checklists, and classroom assessments. We will also use FAST Star Early Literacy data to monitor overall growth and kindergarten readiness.
This project supports Florida's Early Learning and Developmental Standards and aligns with our school improvement goals of increasing student achievement, learning gains, and kindergarten readiness. My hope is that by giving students more opportunities to explore, play, and practice these skills in a meaningful setting, we will see growth not only in their academic abilities but also in their confidence and independence.

Piecing Together Success: 4th Grade Math Manipulatives
Van R Butler Elementary
Using rainbow fraction tiles directly boosts 4th-grade student achievement by shifting abstract math concepts into concrete, visual reality. By physically manipulating the color-coded, proportional bars, students build a foundational understanding of the 4th grade standards like generating equivalent fractions (MA.4.FR.1.3), comparing fraction sizes (MA.4.FR.1.4), and adding with like denominators (MA.4.FR.2.2). This tactile, self-checking method corrects common mathematical misconceptions—such as thinking a larger denominator means a larger piece—which ultimately reduces errors, supports diverse learners, and improves proficiency on standardized Florida FAST assessments. Our School Improvement Plan has a goal to raise overall math proficiency to 90% by improving math learning gains and closing achievement gaps with lower performing students. These hands-on manipulatives will help students master critical fractional concepts, directly accelerating learning gains and closing achievement gaps.

Class sets of novels approved for use in the Walton County School District will be used to increase student engagement, which will in turn, increase student performance on the PM3 FAST assessment in 2027. Additionally, making the novels more relevant by increasing the interaction between students and the novels will increase interest and comprehension. Students will be expected to see learning gains from the PM1 to the PM3 State Assessment. Those in 11th and 12th grades will be expected to increase their scores on the STAR test from the initial assessment to the final assessment in the 2026-2027 school year.
Many approved books included in the Florida BEST standards are not ones my class has had easy access to, especially as a class set. Many of these novels present opportunities for students to learn and grow in areas necessary for their overall achievement and by allowing a few to attend a play of one of the novels, they can see it come to life, which will in turn increase relevance, appreciation, and proficiency.

Tossing around Ideas to Facilitate Civil Discourse in the Social Studies Classroom
Seaside School
Traditional classroom discussion structures often leave out quieter students that lack the confidence to speak in front of others. Students who do not actively participate regularly in classroom discourse fall behind in literacy development, critical thinking, and social growth. The goal of using Qball in the classroom is to increase overall participation to 70% and to build confidence in the speaking abilities of students. Objective #1 is to increase overall participation by reducing the participation equity gap. Objective #2 is to build student confidence and a willingness to speak. These skills can be applied to career and technical goals for future careers.

Room to Move, Space to STEM!
Van R Butler Elementary
Children learn best when they have opportunities to move, explore, collaborate, and engage with their environment. In the STEM Lab, students are encouraged to think critically, solve problems, build, create, and work together. However, meaningful STEM instruction requires more than engaging lessons; it also requires a learning environment that supports the varied developmental, physical, and regulation needs of our students.
Serving students in kindergarten through fifth grade means welcoming a wide range of learning styles, abilities, and developmental needs into one shared instructional space. Some students benefit from sitting close to the instructor during whole-group lessons, while others need opportunities to change positions, move their bodies, or have a defined space that helps them focus and participate successfully.
I would like to create a more flexible, student-centered STEM Lab by adding a classroom-sized whole-group rug that serves multiple instructional purposes. This rug will provide a welcoming space for students to gather for lesson introductions, demonstrations, collaborative discussions, and directions before beginning hands-on STEM challenges. It will also offer students a designated area for appropriate movement and regulation while helping organize the lab into clearly defined learning centers and stations.
My goal is to create an inclusive learning environment where students have opportunities to meet their individual learning needs while developing the creativity, collaboration, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills that are essential to STEM education.

Every Day Counts: A Wild Adventure
Walton Intensity School of Excellence
The goal of Every Day Counts: A Wild Adventure is to improve schoolwide attendance by recognizing students who maintain an individual attendance rate of at least 90%.
Students will have three opportunities to earn attendance rewards—one during each remaining nine-week grading period. A student who maintains at least 90% attendance during a nine-week period will qualify for that quarter’s attendance celebration, even if the student did not qualify during a previous grading period. This gives students a fresh opportunity to succeed every nine weeks.
Students will also have opportunities to earn smaller bonus rewards for perfect attendance during designated assessment weeks, exam weeks, or special attendance-challenge weeks.
The culminating reward will be a supervised wildlife education field trip for up to 60 students who maintain at least 90% cumulative attendance for the remainder of the school year, as calculated by the established spring qualification date.
The current School Improvement Plan identifies attendance as an area of need. Seventy-three students were absent at least 10% of the previous school year, and the plan establishes a goal of increasing average daily attendance by 3%. This project directly supports that goal by creating short-term attendance targets throughout the year and a meaningful culminating experience.

Just Keep Creating: Bringing Literacy to Life Through Finding Nemo Jr
Emerald Coast Middle School
The goal of this project is to strengthen literacy, creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving through the production of Finding Nemo Jr. at Emerald Coast Middle School. This year, our theatre program has expanded to include two theatre teachers, allowing us to provide students with more opportunities to take ownership of both the performance and technical aspects of a full-scale musical production.
A major focus of this project will be student-led scenic and costume design. Rather than relying primarily on adults to create the visual elements of the production, theatre students will participate in interpreting the script, developing design concepts, constructing scenic elements and props, painting set pieces, and selecting and styling costumes. Students will be challenged to determine how an underwater environment can be created onstage through color, texture, movement, scale, and imaginative use of materials.
The project will also continue our collaboration with ELA teachers to support Emerald Coast Middle School’s schoolwide focus on reading and literacy. Theatre provides a natural extension of ELA instruction because students must read closely, analyze characters, interpret dialogue and lyrics, identify themes, understand sequence and setting, and use textual evidence to make performance and design decisions. Our goal is to demonstrate that literacy does not end when students leave the ELA classroom; reading comprehension is essential to successfully telling a story onstage.
