Teacher Training Certification Funding

The purpose of this fund is to support educators who choose to become a teacher trainer in an area of education that connects to the goals and objectives of the greater Yukon education community.

TOC-supported short projects

TOC-supported short projects are short in duration and require TOC coverage as the only cost.

Professional Learning Workshops (PLWs)

PLWs are shorter versions of a PLC and are created to encourage educator colleagues to gather in small groups to share an interest, passion, or recent training over a maximum of three sessions outside of instructional time.

Partner Projects

“Partner Projects” are projects that are part of an on-going relationship with a YAEP PD designated partner. Current partners include:

ACPI, CASALT, ACPI, TMO, YFNED.

* Partner Projects may include OTT where applicable.

Professional Learning Communities (PLCs)

PLCs were designed to provide ongoing support for educators in mutually agreed upon areas of interest.

Running over a 6–10-month period, PLCs happen monthly after school and can be supported with expert coaching.
