Teacher Training Reimbursements:

The 2009 TTR process will include two important changes from previous years:

• In an effort to expand the number of Texas teachers who have access to this training, reimbursement will only be available to any individual teacher every other year. Beginning with the transition year of 2008, teachers are only eligible for reimbursement every other year. Teachers whose training was reimbursed in 2008 should not apply for TTR in 2009. This was widely announced in the 2008 TTR informational materials so that districts could prepare.
• Eligible training opportunities will now include 30-hour AP and Pre-AP trainings offered by Laying the Foundation® in addition to those offered by the College Board.

Further details and instructions regarding 2009 TTR will be posted on the Advanced Academics website soon. You will be notified through this listserv when the additional information is available.

Thank you for all you do to help Texas students, and please let me know what I can do to help you.
