County
Teacher Center Study
Groups
Final Reports
|
|
Study groups allow teachers to come together to learn more about
a particular topic, such as assessment, standards based instruction,
classroom management, school improvement initiatives, instructional
programs. The groups review and discuss the literature, visit model
programs, and meet to discuss the potential of the practices or
programs for their school or classrooms.
The Teacher Center offers grants twice a year to teachers who
wish to start a study group. The grant provides incentive
stipends to group members for a set number of hours and a set amount
for research materials.
