Teacher
Quality Grants are funded by the No Child
Left Behind Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110)
and serve to meet the demands for providing “highly
qualified” teachers in mathematics and science
subject areas through sustained high quality
professional development.
Although the fundamental goal of these
Teacher Quality Grants is to provide content
and pedagogical instruction to uncertified,
novice, and/or otherwise “under-qualified” science
instructors in order to raise them “highly
qualified” status, teachers of all
backgrounds, experience, and qualifications
can benefit from participation in these
professional development sessions and
are invited to participate.
