Paying for Fieldbook with grants and school funds.
Many teachers don't pay for Fieldbook themselves. It's often covered by a school budget or a grant. Here is what to look at, and a description you can paste into the form.
A description for your form
Use this on a purchase request, grant application or quote request. It states plain facts, so you can adjust it to fit what your form asks for.
Fieldbook Learning provides hands-on science and math lessons for Kindergarten to Grade 12 as printable PDFs (most units today are for Kindergarten to Grade 9; high school is being added). Each lesson includes a teacher guide and a student sheet, and uses everyday classroom materials. Lessons are aligned to NGSS, the Common Core and provincial, state and national curricula, and each unit lists the standards it covers. Teachers print and use the lessons directly: there are no student accounts and no student data is collected. Access is by annual licence: US$199 per teacher (classroom all access), or per-student school pricing from US$6 a student with a US$899 minimum. Quotes, invoices and purchase orders are available.

United States
Which funds apply depends on your school or district and on how your state and district use them. Ask your business office or grants coordinator before you buy. These are the places to start.
Title I, Part A
Federal funding for schools with higher shares of students from low-income families. Schools may use it for supplemental instructional materials in the subjects named in their plan, if their plan includes science or math.
Title II, Part A
Supports teacher and school leader development. Fieldbook fits where a district uses these funds for instructional resources and teacher support, with a teacher guide in every lesson.
Title IV, Part A (Student Support and Academic Enrichment)
A flexible grant that can support well-rounded education, including STEM. Districts decide how it is spent, so ask whether science and math resources are an allowable use in your district's plan.
IDEA, Part B
Only for accommodations. If a student's IEP calls for adapted or printable materials, ask your special education coordinator whether a licence can be charged to IDEA funds. We don't claim Fieldbook is a special education programme.
Education savings accounts
Some states run education savings account (ESA) programmes for families. Rules differ by state and by programme, so check whether curriculum purchases are allowed. Our receipts list what was bought. See home education.
DonorsChoose
Individual public school teachers can post a project and have the public fund it. Paste the description above into your project, and use the classroom all-access price (US$199) as the request. DonorsChoose.org
Canada
Most schools buy resources from a school-based budget, so start with your principal or the person who approves purchases. Professional development or learning-resource funds, where your school or board has them, may also cover a licence. In Alberta, families who educate at home may be able to use funding from their program for learning resources. Check with your home education program, and see home education.
United Kingdom and Australia
A licence can usually come from the school's own budget. Parent associations, such as a PTA or PTFA in the UK or a parents and citizens association in Australia, often fund classroom resources, so a teacher can ask them to cover a licence. Share the description above and a quote with your request.
