Through a pilot that began in the 2018 - 19 school year, the ATA Local and GHSD partner to enhance teachers’ professional learning opportunities.
This project gives teachers the opportunity to access $150 during the 2023 - 24 school year for professional development. Unused funds are carried forward each year. If you have not spent any of these PD funds to date, and you have been with the school division since the start of this project in 2018 - 2019, you have access to $750.00. If you have accessed your PD funds in the past, you will have $150 from this year plus any remaining funds from previous years.
Please submit this application form if you would like to apply for these funds. Applications must demonstrate the following:
