We are seeking a grant writer to help us move the Math4ALL project to the next level.

​

If you want to be instrumental in bringing Math4ALL to English learning students across the country, then we need you!

​

Are you passionate and knowledgeable about researching funding opportunities and then writing persuasive copy for grant applications? If YES!, you might be the force that helps us make significant progress in developing the next version of the software and making it available to teachers and children across the country.

​

Once funding is available, this volunteer position could become a paid position.

More about Math4ALL:

Math4ALL is currently accessible in 24 languages. When it is accessible in 95 languages, over 99% of English language learners in U.S. schools will be able to use it. Math4ALL represents a genre of educational software we call "massively multilingual." The goal is to help mainstream these students from their first day of school.

 

While the vast majority of educational software is in English with a small minority of titles in Spanish, 23% of English learners in our schools don't speak Spanish. In fact, it's common to have school districts with over 50 languages spoken. One district, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in Virginia, has 204 languages spoken with students from 184 countries. Nationwide, English learner students speak over 400 languages.

 

Research tells us that these students need educational software in their native languages to help them stay on pace with their English-speaking peers while they learn English. Math4ALL can help level the academic playing field for these students — America’s "least educated" student population — from their first day in a U.S. school.

 

Math4ALL is aligned with the Common Core, research-based, and foundational to STEM education. 

About the position:

Part of our plan is to find funders that focus on specific school districts that have a high number of languages spoken by their students.
