As part of Brigham Young University’s annual “Rocky Mountain European Scholar Consortium,” BYU offers a special program for elementary and secondary school teachers. They offer optional university credit for elementary and secondary education teachers who are interested in teacher recertification or lane-change salary increases (one credit of SC ED 514R for both days or a half credit of SC ED 514R for one day). A certificate of attendance indicating contact hours is also available upon request.
The Center for the Study of Europe is funded by a Title VI federal grant. This funding subsidizes the conference in order to keep registration expenses to a minimum. Just $20 is required for registration and an additional $30 for university credit if desired.
