The Sixth Annual A&E Canadian Teacher Grant is sponsored by A&E Network and its cable affiliates and is endorsed by Cable in the Classroom/La câblo-éducation. We share an admiration for Canada's teachers and invite them to demonstrate how imaginative use of A&E programming results in innovative approaches to classroom instruction.

The best way to get a feel for this competition is to be inspired by previous winners. Look at their projects and see how they approached them. The 1998 winners demonstrated a clear integration of A&E programming into classroom activities. They share an appreciation of the important role that cable programming can play in inspiring and motivating students.
