Grant Overview
The College and Career Readiness Support Project will provide high quality professional development that helps teachers become comfortable with the use of emerging technologies in their classrooms. The lead agency, HCPSS, and its partners will create **six** specific professional development courses and **two** professional development modules highlighting instructional resources for Algebra II and English IV. Content for all courses will be written by teachers from partner school districts with direction from the project manager and subject matter experts for each content area. This work will be edited for conventions and content consistency by a professional editor.
