The College of Education is allocating funds to provide support for staff* to attend various staff professional development opportunities. We will have a limited amount of funding so the awards will be handled on a first come basis. Multiple requests by staff will be considered if the amount requested is less than $500. For larger funding requests (greater than $500) staff may be restricted to one funding support per year. When funding requests for staff development exceed $500 we encourage staff to seek matching support from their department/unit when they apply. This amount should be listed on the request by their supervisor. Funding caps and additional restrictions may be added as we see the number of requests we receive. The goal of this process is to provide support to as many COE staff as possible. As Staff Professional Development Opportunities arise they will be added to this website so check back often. If you become aware of a Professional Development Opportunity please send it to Christy Glazer to be added to the website.
To Apply:
- Complete the online request for COE Staff Professional Development Funding
- Print out form for appropriate approvals and signatures
- Submit a copy of the completed form to Christy Glazer in G4-C at least 3 weeks in advance of the professional development activity where possible.
Notification of Award:
All requests will receive a response as to whether funding for the professional development will be allocated and the amount of support within a week of the receipt of the application. The FY 2013 review committee is made up entirely of COE staff. A committee review member will be excused from giving a recommendation on funding requests for staff from their department. Funds will be transferred to the staff member’s department so the expenses can be processed in the home unit.
Any questions regarding staff development allocations should be sent to Christy Glazer at 706-542-2696.
*OIT and Student Services staff are not eligible because they have their own training budgets.
