Guidelines

Guidelines

Curriculum Institute applications that meet both goals will be prioritized. Further considerations will include:
  • impact beyond a single classroom
  • strength of the plan for applying or extending the funded learning
  • cost-effectiveness
  • the degree to which funded experiences cannot be obtained in any other manner
  • the number of applications submitted
 
Application Deadline Information
  • Curriculum Institute applications must be submitted at least two weeks before the requested event
  • It may take a two-week turnaround time for applications to be reviewed and approved/denied
  • You are encouraged to submit your CI application as soon as possible 
  • When appropriate, submit CI applications prior to early bird deadlines
 
Special Considerations for Summer 2023
  • Summer CI activities must occur between June 9  and August 8, 2023
  • On-Site CIs: CI will support up to a combined total of 12 hours of collaboration time per person, not per course team, during Summer 2023
    • Learning Palooza participation hours will not count toward the 12-hour collaboration limit
 
Approval Process
  • Submitting a CI application does not mean that the CI is approved. All CIs must be reviewed and approved by Ed Services in order to be deemed "approved"
  • All Team Participants listed on the CI application will be notified via email stating if the request has been approved or denied
  • Information on the next steps for DO pre-payment will be included in the approval emails sent to all participants listed on the application
  • Review the CI Payment Procedure (On-Site) and CI Reimbursement Procedure (Off-Site), linked below
 
Professional Growth/Incentive Pay
  • Do not fill out a CI application or any CI-related forms if you are applying for horizontal movement, units, or incentive pay through Personnel
  • Staff cannot receive both incentive pay (units) AND CI hourly pay (On-Site)/CI reimbursement (Off-Site)
  • Contact Amy Vargas if you have questions regarding units and/or incentive pay or the professional growth process

    • Note*: 
      • In rare instances, the district may not be able to pre-pay for registration on behalf of staff due to vendor registration restrictions. Staff will be notified if this occurs
      • Staff that choose to pre-pay for their registration can submit a CI Reimbursement Form AFTER attending the approved activity
  • Each staff member requesting reimbursement individually submits a CI Reimbursement Form
