GHAEA Virtual SIOP Stipend Application 2019-20
Based on years of research, the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP®) Model is a scientifically validated framework for improving the academic achievement of English learners.

Let the training come to you! The SIOP® Training for Teachers Virtual Institute is a cost-effective and convenient way to learn about the scientifically validated SIOP® Model. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of how SIOP® works in content-area classrooms. Watch expert-led sessions right on your computer. Experience SIOP® classroom lessons, listen to SIOP® authors, and participate in an author Q&A live. It’s a powerful new learning model for educators with limited time or budget for travel.

This four-week institute consists of 11 sessions in which participants complete a series of assignments on their own schedule, as well as meeting as a virtual group to collaborate, discuss, and share information with colleagues. The four live sessions are led by an expert in the topic and one session is devoted to a question and answer session with the authors.

Virtual SIOP costs $300, which the AEA will reimburse.  Additionally, upon completion, each participant will receive a $200 honorarium.  To qualify for the $500 reimbursement, ($300 registration plus $200 honorarium) please complete the personal information and respond to the following questions.

You will need to wait for a response before registering for the session if you want to attend and receive the stipend.  Angie Hance will email you to let you know if you qualify for the reimbursement of $500.  Once approved, a registration link will be sent.  You will also be able to apply for license renewal credit.  

Once you receive the written approval you will need to
     1) get approval from your direct supervisor;
     2) obtain a purchase order from your district to register, have the district pay and register you, or pay yourself; and
     3) let your supervisor and business office know that in addition to reimbursement for the class ($300), we will also send the district a $200 stipend that the district will need to forward on to the teacher.  

Once the institute is completed, Pearson will issue you a Certificate of Completion.  You will need to photocopy or scan this certificate and send/email it to Angie Hance along with a completed claim form.  Claim forms are needed for the AEA to reimburse the district for the $300 registration and $200 stipend.  The district will then reimburse you the $200 (likely minus taxes).  Unfortunately, the AEA can not pay any stipends directly to an individual due to tax reasons.  

Use the link below to learn about the course and the dates it will be offered beginning in January.  You may register for License Renewal Credit as well, paid for using your own funds.
