We’ve been very excited to roll out our new online professional development offerings over the past few months—we’ve conducted webinars about habits of mind and engineering in out-of-school time and we’ve had some amazing discussions with educators around the country about STEM integration and ELA connections. Now, we’re ready to take online PD to the next level with the very first online workshop series this summer. We’re looking for a small group of highly motivated teachers to help us pilot test this new experience. If you are selected, you’ll receive a scholarship that includes:
- three online professional development sessions
- an EiE teacher guide of your choice
- the EiE materials kit for the unit
- a classroom set of 24 storybooks for the unit
- a $150 stipend for your feedback about the experience
To be eligible to apply, you must attend one of two informational webinars: Tuesday, April 4th at 6:00 PM EDT or Saturday, April 8 at 11:00 AM EDT. There, you’ll learn more about this new opportunity and have the chance to ask our professional development team any questions you may have. Read our Q&A below for more information and to see if you meet the eligibility criteria.
