Heartland AEA 11 has a unique opportunity to participate in a professional development activity with Iowa Public Television over the 2001-2002 school year. IPTV has received a grant through the Public Broadcasting System to publicize and showcase PBS' TeacherLine. IPTV has invited Heartland to partner with them in this endeavor. Each module involves approximately 15 hours of work by the teacher. This facilitator interaction allows teachers access to a person who can lead them through the process and provide answers and support.
Participants complete all of their course work online from their schools or homes.
College credit option will be available at the participant's expense. Two or three of the teachers involved in this project will be selected to attend a National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Institute during the 2001-2002 school year with all expenses paid. Applications will be accepted on a first-come basis with participation limited to 35 teachers. The deadline for application is May 23, 2001.
