Technical Assistance Requirements: Governing Board Support

CCSP Technical Assistance Requirements: Governing Board Support

The CDE Schools of Choice places great value on providing high-quality support and training based on research proven best practices that are intentionally designed to improve each school’s chance for success. Therefore, participation in technical assistance events is expected of sub-grantees. Flexibility exists within the technical assistance requirements for schools to tailor their selection of trainings to best meet the school’s unique needs. Using the technical assistance requirements as a plan, and grant funds as a resource, schools should self-evaluate and use this opportunity to build capacity. A training request form must be completed and submitted to CDE Schools of Choice at SOC@cde.state.co.us PRIOR TO any individualized training for pre-authorization, and credit will be issued once the authorized training request form is resubmitted with reflections on professional development gains from the training.
