    Hello TPS Teachers Network friends,

    KidCitizen producer Snow&Co is putting together an interesting proposal (on a tight deadline) to the Lewis-Houghton Initiative, and we are looking for Advisory, Curriculum, or School-pilot partners.

    The Lewis-Houghton will provide grants to organizations to develop digitally-enabled learning initiatives for secondary education based on creative arts driven instruction, especially focused on music, in history, civics and democracy.

    Our proposed project, "Music Of Us", aims to create a cloud-based platform and "episodes" that will enable inquiry-based exploration of music and sound primary sources - providing ways for listeners to explore the musicians, history, social context, and styles of a piece of music while listening to it. It will build on the successful technical platform and approach used by KidCitizen, with new music-focused features. We think this will be an exciting new way to explore musical primary sources. Here's a detailed description.

    I am making this request on a ridiculously short deadline - the LOC needs applications by June 30, next week! (They announced it at the start of this month, and we had to address other deadlines before getting to this.)

    Snow&Co will be the lead org, and I'll be working to streamline what we'll need from you for the proposal (mainly describing what you'd do, and budgeting that.) 

    Detailed proposal description:
