Teacher Coal Study Unit (CSU) Program: 1993-2007
Grant monies and education materials are made available to teachers for their creation, development and implementation in their classroom of a study unit (lesson plan) based on coal. In order to give incentive for participation and recognition for performance, CEDAR awards cash prizes to First, Second and Third places in each grade level of (K-4th), (5th-8th) and (9th-12th). A Teacher-of-the-Year Award valued at $2,600 is awarded to the teacher having the best (CSU) submitted for judging. Over the past fourteen years CEDAR has granted $475,849 for the implementation of 817 (CSU) involving 1,674 teachers and 58,029 students.
