Description
The West Virginia Department of Education offers House Bill 5405 funding to county school districts for two areas: mathematics and science professional development through Regional Professional Learning Cadres or Teacher Leadership Networks, and resources for educators working toward full certification in their current positions.
Projects are expected to translate professional learning into classroom practice. The department looks for clear purposes and measurable goals connected to county strategic plans, defined professional development topics and hours, and plans for classroom implementation, outcomes, and monitoring. An external evaluation must use both qualitative and quantitative sources to assess whether intended outcomes are met.
