Outreach and Registration Information
Through the HGSE Office of School Partnerships, the James Bryant
Conant Professional Development Fund provides funding (from the
HGSE Financial Aid Office) for teachers and administrators from the
Boston and Cambridge Public School Districts to take advantage of
the professional development events and offerings provided at HGSE
in workshops and institutes by The Principals' Center, Programs
in Professional Education (PPE), and WIDE World - Online and On-site Professional
Development.
Outreach and registration are coordinated in collaboration with
the professional development and superintendents' offices of the Boston
and Cambridge public school districts (see below). To use a portion of the Conant
Fund, teachers and administrators must first contact their district office below for approval, then register for the event or institute with one of
the HGSE professional development providers and designate “Conant” as the funder for payment.
The district office will monitor use of the funds and notify the
HGSE Office of School Partnerships (OSP) of the registrations, and
OSP will give an appropriate budget code to the HGSE provider until
the fund limit ($16,000 in FY08) is reached. The notification to OSP should include
the BPS or CPS educator or administrator’s name, role (position
title, grade level, etc.) and their post (school name, district
wide, etc.).
