Achieving the Goals: Goal 4 Teacher Professional Development - August 1996

U.S. Department of Education

Goals 2000

Preservice Teacher Education and Professional Development Activities*

Funds awarded to State education agencies and, through subgrants, to school districts are available to help develop and implement comprehensive state and local improvement plans that include strategies for promoting quality professional development. In addition, the GOALS program provides separate financial assistance to school districts through subgrants from the State education agency to support continuing and sustained professional development programs that will increase student learning, and to improve teacher education programs, consistent with the GOALS 2000 State improvement plan. Each State educational agency funds these activities on a competitive, peer-reviewed, basis out of a portion of the GOALS 2000 grant that it receives from the Department.

For more information, contact the state education agency.
