Saskatchewan's Teacher Innovation Fund Inspires Change

Imagine walking into a classroom powered by creativity. A place where teachers are equipped not just to teach, but to inspire. This is exactly what the Government of Saskatchewan is nurturing with its Teacher Innovation and Support Fund (TISF).

Released on November 10, 2025, this incredible initiative is allocating nearly $1.4 million to support 37 innovative teacher-led projects for the 2025-26 school year. That's funding for new ideas to bring learning to life!

Here's the exciting part: the TISF allows certified teachers to apply for up to $75,000 to fuel their creative visions. And you won’t believe the projects that are coming to life!

• Virtual Reality Experiences: Students exploring sacred Catholic and Indigenous sites, guided by Elders and Knowledge Keepers.
• Mobile Learning Labs: Hands-on education about environmental science, right at their doorstep, allowing students to investigate local soils and wildlife.
• Poultry Operations: A classroom where students learn responsibility and entrepreneurship through running a real business.

With 66 projects approved so far, we’re seeing a total of $2.5 million in funding this year alone. Plus, Saskatchewan has allocated a record $2.4 billion for school operating funding—an investment in a bright future.

But here's the thing: these projects are not merely about funding. They’re about empowering teachers and enriching the student experience. Like Education Minister Everett Hindley said, it’s about bringing creative ideas to classrooms to enhance learning.

Feeling inspired yet? This isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the dreams of educators and the hopes of students. So, whether you're a teacher or a parent, know that your community is stepping up to innovate and create a more dynamic education system—together!
