STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FUNDING
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) helps fund the attendance of public school AP and Pre-AP teachers (grade 6-12) at AP Summer Institutes endorsed by the College Board.
· This funding is provided through reimbursements to school districts of up to $450 per teacher toward the tuition of one summer institute.
· Teachers are eligible for reimbursement two years in a row for teaching a course that is new to them, then ineligible for the next two years. For example, Mrs. Bean teaches AP Language and Literature. She can be reimbursed for training in 2006 and 2007 and then not again until 2010. However, if Mrs. Bean changes teaching assignments and begins teaching AP World History, then her eligibility status rotation begins again.
· Teachers must participate the entire week to be eligible. If a teacher misses a portion of the scheduled days and/or the Friday session, he or she will not receive a certificate and will not be eligible for reimbursement. Reimbursement instructions will be distributed on Friday at the end of the day.
For TEA Teacher Training Reimbursement information and forms, go to www.tea.state.tx.us/gted Other state departments of education also fund participants with prior approval. Please consult your state’s department of education information.
