Utah State Board of Education
During the State of Utah's legislative session 2020, HB114 was passed proving Grants for Professional Learning, however due to COVID-19 disruptions, the bill did not receive funding until the 2021 session. The Grant for Professional Learning is meant to provide preschool through grade three teachers with professional learning opportunities in early literacy and/or early mathematics. The majority of eligible districts and charter schools, Local Education Agencies (LEAs), chose to apply for this grant. This document reports how the grant provided an allocation of $3,965,000 which was distributed to the 111 LEA applicants during the 2022-2023 school year, using a per teacher allotment. Of those LEAs, the majority chose to support early literacy professional learning opportunities. A pre and post survey was distributed to measure outcomes of professional learning regarding deepening educator understanding of early literacy and/or early math and applying the knowledge learned in their educational practices.
