There will again be an opportunity for teacher quality funding to support your professional learning this year.
As was the case last year, there will be one window for teacher quality funds to support coursework this year. This window will extend across the school year (August 23, 2024-August 22, 2025).
There is a $525 limit for teacher quality funding during this timeframe. In order to be eligible for TQ funding, an application must be submitted and approved. Each teacher may submit one TQ course application during the 2024-2025 school year*. Courses that are credit-bearing are eligible for TQ funding.
