Jordan Fundamentals

About the Program

The Jordan Fundamentals Grant Program was established in 1999 to recognize outstanding teaching and instructional creativity in public secondary schools that serve economically disadvantaged students. If you and your students have a special project that requires funding or would like to create a project that helps education reach new heights, fill out the Jordan Fundamentals application and apply for a grant today.

This program is enabled by the Jordan Brand, a division of NIKE, Inc., and administered by COMPASS Consulting, a private non-profit educational consulting firm, helping schools and communities develop more effective and equitable interventions, approaches and systems to improve student results.

OVER THE YEARS, THE FUNDED PROJECTS HAVE:

  • Helped students placed at risk by poverty gain new opportunities to learn
  • Supported improvements to the quality of teaching
  • Empowered teachers
  • Enriched teaching and learning experiences
  • Supported active student engagement
  • Engendered students with a higher level of motivation to participate in the education
  • Linked with local and/or state frameworks and standards for curriculum and instruction

Guidelines

To be successful, proposed projects must connect explicitly with the Jordan Code and Brand Truths:

  • Authentic – Stay True
  • Uncompromised – Demand excellence
  • Earned – Bring your best game. Every day
  • Aspirational – Be more than expected

Each year, a significant number of projects will be funded as “Innovation Grants” with individual teacher approaches that attempt to engage students in school using either experimental or traditional strategies effectively. These projects should incorporate a number of critical components:

  • Address at least one or more of the grant Program Objectives
  • Provide multiple examples of how the program will be Effective
  • Address specific student needs
  • Will rely on at least one specific Brand Truth’s as guiding principles

Inspiration Grants, averaging $10,000, will be awarded to teams of teachers to support scaling-up the implementation of approaches, originally developed with Innovation Grants. Requests larger than $10,000 for Innovation Grants will be considered if the proposal scope is appropriately in alignment with the requested amount. These projects should incorporate a number of critical components:

  • Projects should demonstrate the potential for being Effective, Replicable and Sustainable
  • Address at least two or more of the grant Program Objectives
  • Address specific student needs
  • Will rely on at least two of the Brand Truth’s as guiding principles

The job of a quality confirmation engineer, generally alluded as QA engineer is to keep an excellent of the product improvement project beginning from the product plan to the execution of the equivalent. In the advanced improvement techniques like Continuous Development (CD), the significance of QA programming testing has changed enormously. Presently, far off programming testing is certifiably not a one-time movement or interaction, yet it is a consistent testing from the start of coding to execute. The advanced programming testing requires the most recent reevaluated QA testing devices, testing-based programming improvement philosophies, and the constant improvement systems. A wide range of manual testing like unit testing, module tests, mix testing, execution testing, and other testing have been changed into the QA robotization testing structures and instruments. The major QA engineer liabilities are recorded underneath:

Production of QA plan for the whole venture

Improvement and support of required experiments

Execution of the most recent reevaluated QA testing instruments and fostering the computerized testing system

Actually look at the trustworthiness, unwavering quality, and similarity of the code through thorough testing

Play out a wide range of testing like unit testing, mix testing, API testing, relapse testing, framework testing, module testing, execution testing etcetera

Investigating the issues and aiding the product engineers

Creating test answering to the concerned work force
