Teacher Professional Development Sessions:
2024-2025 School Year:
All are welcome to attend educator professional development webinars. Webinar content is tailored for specific grade levels, as indicated in the registration.
The $25 Amazon gift card incentive is specifically for teachers who are teaching the economics and personal finance benchmarks outlined in the Minnesota K-12 Social Studies standards. Due to funding constraints, we had to focus this incentive on those directly covering these specific areas. MN license number will be asked during registration, license must be active & not expired in MDE license lookup; MCEE will verify license before issuing gift card.
K-8 webinar participants will only be awarded a gift card if licensed in that grade level.
9-12 webinar participants will only be awarded a gift card if licensed in grades 9-12 Social Studies, Business, Agriculture/Natural Resources Education, Family and Consumer Sciences, Mathematics, English as a Second Language, or Special Education.
Gift cards will only be distributed to those who meet these criteria. Please ensure your eligibility before registering.
Gift cards are for MCEE teacher professional development webinars only. They will not be included in MCEE Speaker Series, other council webinars, National or CEE webinars, or other sessions as indicated.
