Task 2: Identify Financial Resources for Professional Learning

Guideline: District staff members, principals and teachers in leadership roles should be aware of financial resources available to support professional learning. Government funds may be available for school education programs and their associated requirements through federal and state resources. Additionally, private grants may be available. District staff members, principals and teachers in leadership roles should be aware of these possibilities and encourage staff members to explore possible grants in their programmatic planning. This task provides resources to identify potential financial resources.
