Heartland AEA has a strong commitment to time spent in service to our partners. With this commitment in mind, beginning in 2018-19, TQ courses and study groups will be offered between Oct. 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019 mainly outside of contract hours Monday through Friday or on weekends.
A popular option offered in 2017-18 will again be offered in 2018-19--the ability for you to develop your own study group proposals. Study groups must have at least four participants, and one participant must agree to be the study group facilitator. The content must align with Heartland AEA’s four goals and/or support a specific job-alike function. Study group proposals can be submitted any time during the registration period from Aug. 20-Sept. 14, 2018. The Professional Learning Office will work with interested participants in writing their study group proposal if assistance is needed.
Those who complete a TQ course or study group and meet eligibility requirements will be provided a stipend. The amount of the stipend is established after registration closes, as the stipend is determined by the number of participants. For reference, during the 2017-18 school year, eligible participants received $655 for completing a course/study group, and facilitators received a $705 stipend facilitating a course/study group.
