Can the professional development portion of the annual grant installment be used by the recipient teacher as a learning experience for several teachers in his/her school or school district?
The Career Award for Science and Mathematics Teachers provides $10,000 annually for professional development. These funds are flexible and may be used at the discretion of the teacher for personal professional development activities, travel and registration to meetings or conferences, or hiring substitutes. If the teacher would like to expand professional development to a team of teachers to create networking opportunities with colleagues and to build capacity at his/her school or school district, the award allows this expansion.
