We would like to pass on the information given to us from OKSTE:
Participants can use ESSER funds to register for OKSTE2021!
How? In ESSER I and III it would need to be included your budget (like you would do in Title II), and the conference would “respond to COVID by training teachers and administrators in the evidence-based teaching strategies for online learning used during times of school closure and with students who choose virtual learning options.” You could also tie it to learning about upgraded systems for online teaching, enrollment, and other school functions to “prepare for the impact of COVID by upgrading online systems to best handle the demands of educating children during a global pandemic.”*
ESSER II – there is no application in ESSER II, so you would use the “respond to COVID by training teachers and administrators in the evidence-based teaching strategies for online learning used during times of school closure and with students who choose virtual learning options.” You could also tie it to learning about upgraded systems for online teaching, enrollment, and other school functions to “prepare for the impact of COVID by upgrading online systems to best handle the demands of educating children during a global pandemic.” when you send the claim for ESSER II reimbursement.*
