The Teacher Professional Development Network, a grant project housed at SUNY Cortland, is interested in how we can help serve your district’s needs related to professional development for teachers of non-core content areas such as the arts, physical education, therapies, foreign language, technology, PreK, and any other subject that isn’t considered "core” curriculum.
At the request of our partner districts we are planning two Teacher Professional Development days at SUNY Cortland offering professional development designed specifically for teachers who are not the target audience for most in-house PD, or who have few colleagues in their schools.
We are tentatively planning activities on Friday October 7, 2016 and Friday March 17, 2017, which will be open to teachers in our region free of charge. We are asking for your input to help shape the offerings we plan for those days. Please help us by taking a few minutes to respond to the survey linked below. And feel free to forward this email to your colleagues.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Alexis Abramo, Grant Project Manager in the School of Education at SUNY Cortland, at alexis.abramo@cortland.edu or 607-351-2078. We appreciate your time and your feedback.

Support for Pre-K-12 Classroom
Projects:Kids in Need
Foundation The Kids in Need Foundation is dedicated to
engaging students in the learning process by providing grants towards the
purchase of supplies for students to participate in special classroom learning
experiences. Kids in Need Teacher Grants help pre-K-12 educators develop
innovative learning opportunities for their students. The purpose of the grants
is to provide support for classroom teachers who have meritorious ideas but lack
the budget to bring them to life. Funded projects should make creative use of
common teaching aids, approach the curriculum from an imaginative angle, or tie
nontraditional concepts together for the purpose of illustrating commonalities.
This year the Foundation will provide grants ranging from $100 to $500 through
eight unique grant programs. The application deadline for all programs is
September 30, 2016. Visit the Foundation's website to submit an online
application.
