Hononegah Board of Education Recognizes Teachers For Earning the Excellence in Education Grants-Bond
The Illinois Retired Teachers Association Foundation (IRTAF) awards nearly $36,500 in grant
money to several public school educators (Pre-K through 12) statewide. IRTAF is affiliated with
the Illinois Retired Teachers Association, a lobbying group for retired educators, with a current
membership of over 38,000. On October 10, 2018, Anita Bond was awarded her IRTAF grant
check. Below, you will find a summarized paragraph of the project.

This system can be used in all of my courses and for a wide variety of interactive
purposes. Furthermore, this system is easily movable among classrooms to be shared with other
teachers. Finally, this program doesn't require teachers to program all game questions so it can
be used for formative assessment quickly.
The IRTA Foundation designed this program based on the idea that educators often do not have
additional revenue sources available for unique student projects or classroom materials. This
program allotted a total of $36,500 to Illinois public school educators for these purposes.
Applicants were required to meet the proper criteria and to submit their proposals by early
June. The IRTAF Board of Directors selected the grant recipients and awards are being
presented now. The Illinois Principals Association played a vital role in assisting IRTAF with
the promotion of this program.
