KCI MERIT Program
The Krause Center for Innovation at Foothill College (KCI) has an exciting professional development opportunity for teachers. The Merit Program is a one-year professional development experience designed to improve teachers' ability to effectively integrate technology into their curriculum. The KCI's MERIT empowers teachers to effectively integrate technology into their curriculum, and teach to the strengths, talents, and passions of diverse student populations.

Merit starts with a summer institute, July 6 - 17, 2009 and continues with classes, workshops, and training throughout the 2009-10 academic year. Teachers are rewarded with a $2000 stipend in the summer and $1500 for participation in the academic year activities. More than just financial gain, Merit offers intensive training in project-based learning and mentor-peer team building. All the courses earn Foothill College credit. We feel we have designed an incredible package of free professional development to inspire you to excellence in your classroom.

You are invited to an information session, Monday, February 2, 4-5pm, at the Krause Center for Innovation, Foothill College.

Applications for the Merit Program are now available. Application deadline passed.
