Grants to 'Populate' New Teacher Professional Development Online Portal

Six Michigan education organizations will receive grants ranging from $45,000 to $100,000 to develop programs that could help teachers achieve "highly qualified" status under the federal No Child Left Behind Act. The programs will be offered through Michigan LearnPort, the new statewideteacher professional development online portal. Jointly administered by the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) and Michigan Virtual University (MVU), LearnPort will make both online and traditional professional development activities available for purchase or at no charge to all Michigan educators. LearnPort also will give school administrators a consistent way to manage, assign and track teacher professional development.
