FUTURE of WORK in APPALACHIA - STUDY UNIT PROGRAM

COORDINATOR AWARDS PROGRAM

2024-2025


This program rewards teachers who excel in carrying out their duties as the Coordinator for their school’s participation in the CEDAR Future of Work in Appalachia Education Program. After being recruited by their Principal to fill the Coordinator role, their responsibilities include the following: attend the Program Workshop to receive all program information; promote the program in their school by recruiting other teachers to participate; and serve as the liaison between CEDAR and any other participating teachers at their school.

Schools in the twelve-county program area will be divided into size “classes” based on the number of teachers at each school. EXAMPLE: “Class A” will consist of schools having from 1 to 15 teachers, “Class B” having 16 to 30 teachers, and “Class C” having 31 and more. There will be one (1) Coordinator from each of these three “Classes” who will receive a cash award based on the following:


SCORING SYSTEM

  1. Percent of scheduled meetings attended; (one workshop)

  2. Percent of Unit Reports submitted by deadline from participating teachers implementing a Study Unit at Coordinator’s school;

  3. Percent of teachers participating in the implementation of a Study Unit versus the number of classroom teachers at the Coordinator’s school;

  4. Weighted average percent score of all Unit Reports from Coordinator’s school.


AWARD AMOUNT

Cash awards will be based on the average percent of total points earned versus points possible, and will be at the rate of $3.00 per percentage point based on 100% being possible.
