The application due date is March 16, 2009.
Two separate sessions will be held. These are one-week sessions on the SIUE campus, with a two-day, one night stay in Springfield, Illinois.
STIPEND, TENURE, AND CONDITIONS OF AWARD
Teachers selected to participate will receive a stipend of $750 at the end of the residential workshop. Stipends are intended to help cover ordinary living expenses, books, and travel expenses to and from the workshop location.
Travel supplements will be available, but will be allocated on a case-by-case basis within two weeks after each workshop is completed. Stipends and travel supplements are taxable.
GRADUATE CREDIT
Participants who might want graduate credit (History or Education) will be provided with an SIUE graduate tuition waiver for up to three units of graduate course credit for this workshop. University fees will still apply. To receive course credit and a grade, an additional series of three lesson plans will be required to be submitted to the project director following workshop participation. Registration for this tuition waiver will be processed on campus during the workshop.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
SIUE can provide you with documentation of your attendance and participation in this workshop.
