Shirley Hord Learning Team Award
by Curtis Cunningham, Professional Learning Specialist

The Department of Professional Learning believes in the power of collaborative teams. SPS students benefit from the meaningful collaboration between teachers, principals and support staff. We believe it is time for everyone to know about the excellent work at SPS sites.

The link below will take you to a web page which outlines details for applying to receive the Shirley Hord Learning Team Award. While there will be some work required, the award provides $2,500 for the winning school and contributions from Corwin Press to the school’s professional library. Learning Forward will also give a winning site $4,500 toward travel expenses to the Learning Forward Summer Conference.

We encourage you to consider applying for the award as your time and interest permit. The deadline for applying is March 1, 2013.
