Investing in Your Teachers’ Professional Development
Finding funding to support your teachers with excellent professional development is always possible — and important.
Here are the most common ways that we see instructional leaders find to support their teachers with programs like TeachFX.
Utilize the remainder of your ESSER or EANS funds.
The third round of ESSER funding expires in September 2024.
And the deadlines for submitting requests vary by state and district.
💡ESSER III is a source for maintaining high-quality instruction to mitigate pandemic learning loss.
💡 At least 20% of awarded ESSER III grants must be used to address learning loss.
✅ TeachFX helps teachers improve their own instruction and address post-pandemic learning gaps.
Utilize Title I funds to support your teachers’ professional development.
Title I schools can purchase tech to help improve educational outcomes for Title I eligible students.
Whether your school is designated as Title I, or a portion of students within your school are Title I-eligible, these funds can be utilized in providing teachers with TeachFX to support their professional development, enhancing their ability to improve students’s learning outcomes.
✅ Title I schools like Atlanta’s Continental Colony have used Title I funds to support their teachers with TeachFX.
Maximize professional development opportunities with Title II funds
Title II funds can be used for professional development that’s classroom focused, evidence based, data driven, intended to be collaborative, and job embedded.
You can pay for technology support for teachers when it meets one or more of the Title II criteria.
✅ TeachFX actually checks all of these boxes!
Use Title III funds to support plurilingual learners.
Title III pays for coaching and professional development specifically targeted toward EL teachers.
And plurilingual learners often benefit the most from engaging in classroom dialogue, making TeachFX an important piece of the puzzle.
Check with your district’s academic services division to see if your district has a grant you can utilize. Or, we can help write one!
✅ School districts like Anaheim UHSD partner with TeachFX to help support teaching practices that engage plurilingual learners.
Access special grant opportunities.
Local and state organizations have mobilized to create new funding opportunities to help support teachers and students.
From Utah’s STEM Action Center grant program to the Texas Education Agency’s instructional materials and technology allotments (IMTA), state-level grant programs are expanding.
✅ TeachFX is a preferred partner for Utah’s STEM Acton Center and could be a great fit for your state’s program.
