Staff Grant Process

WHAT GRANTS HAVE BEEN AWARDED?

The Westlake Educational Foundation Awards Grants 
in Support of Its Mission 

2021 Staff Grant Supports Innovation and Creativity in the Classroom

A group of Westlake Elementary School (WES) teachers wanted to bring creative and innovative learning techniques into the classroom to encourage  a mindset of growth and perseverance in students.  The Foundation awarded them a grant to purchase KEVA  Planks. KEVA Planks are identically sized wood planks that have no glue or connectors.

In the classroom, some of the KEVA Plank challenges include: build the tallest tower with only one plank as the base and build the longest structure hanging off the edge of the table.  WES teacher Brandi Mattingly reports that students initially felt tasks were hard or impossible or even unfair when other students were successful, and they were not.  Working to change a student’s mindset to one of growth, where they believe in their ability to take on challenging tasks and creatively problem solve with hard work, teamwork and practice, is the goal.  As students continue to work with the KEVA Planks, Mattingly has heard them say, “this was hard, but I am glad I tried more strategies”, and “I am going to take a huge risk by trying this”.  Mattingly reports, “Overall,  students are enjoying the process, resulting in greater risk-taking while designing and building.”
