YAKIMA, Wash. -- More than 40 local teachers will receive $9,000 each to integrate technology into their classrooms.
They are among 263 teachers around the state who garnered grants for professional development that will train them to become peer coaches. The program is designed to develop each educator's mentoring skills as they learn to integrate technology into standards-based curricula.
The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction announced the Enhanced Peer Coaching Program grants Wednesday.
The grants cover a
10-session training program and related costs, such as substitute teachers and new technology for their classrooms.
