The D51 Foundation wrapped up a 5th Round of Professional Learning Grants. Since 2018, the D51F has given over $50,000 to 84 teachers and principals for professional learning. Since most PL will be online, a few places to look might be Modern Teacher, Teacher's College, and Reading and Writing Project. Feel free to find other options for PL. Our 6th Round of Professional Learning Grants will close on August 31, 2020.
