Program Incentives

The Adventure of the American Mind (AAM) is an incredible professional development opportunity for faculty members. In addition to Professional Development Act 48 Credit we are pleased to offer technology incentives for use in teaching and learning. The amount of money that is available to your school or district is determined by the number of teachers who participate in AAM workshops and the number of hours of training they complete. The basic formula is:

15 teachers complete 15 hours of training* = $2,000 per building or district

If your school has less than 20 teachers, 75% of your faculty must complete 15 hours of training to receive $2000. If your district enrolls less than 15 teachers your incentive fund will be prorated. The amount is adjusted from this formula based on participation.

* Prorated if more than 15 teachers complete 15 hours of training.

The list of suggested equipment below is provided for your convenience. However, you are free to request items not on the list, subject to AAM approval.
