Registration for Teacher Quality courses and study groups begins today and ends Sept. 15, 2017. The list of courses and study groups being offered is now available. Teacher Quality (TQ) courses and study groups meet for 15 hours off contract time, and participants are eligible for a stipend upon completion. New Certified staff members are eligible to sign up for these opportunities. The amount of the stipend is established after registration closes and does fluctuate from year to year. Over the last three years, participants were paid between $600 and $640 to participate in a course or study group, which will be offered from Oct. 2017 through June 2018.
A new option this year will allow staff members to develop their own study group proposals. Study groups must have at least four participants, and one participant must agree to be the facilitator. The content must align with Heartland AEA’s four goals or support a specific job-alike function. Use this form to indicate your interest in forming a study group. Study group proposals can be turned in Aug. 21 – Sept. 15, 2017. The Professional Development Office will work with interested participants in writing their study group proposal.
Here is a frequently asked questions document that will help answer questions.
