AIG Training-Earn a stipend

NWRESA will be offering 2 options in AIG training this summer. Both options are 60 hours with 6 CEUs offered.

The online option will begin on June 9 with a required Zoom and end on August 1. The PD is self-paced, and optional Zooms are offered.

The face-to-face PD will be held in the Stone Center from June 16-20 from 9:00-3:00. In addition to this week, online assignments will be required that will need to be completed by August 1. This option allows teachers to plan together, collaborate with other districts, and be more hands-on.

ACS will pay teachers $500 to participate and earn their local AIG credentials
