Fees
As always, any employee of the Watertown School District is welcome to attend Tech Academy sessions free of charge. This includes all certified and classified employees, as well as teachers who are currently on the district's substitute roster. Watertown staff may also participate in the Summit offerings without charge.
The following school districts have agreed to cover the registration fees for employees to attend full day Teacher Effectiveness Summit sessions through their ESA1 partnership: Big Stone; Colman-Egan; DeSmet; Doland; Elkton; Estelline; Grant-Deuel; Milbank; Redfield; Rutland; Sisseton; Watertown; and Wilmont. Teachers from these schools may attend Tech Academy sessions at a discounted rate of $5 per session, or $50 for unlimited sessions.
Cost for participants from schools that are not on this list will be charged $10 per Tech Academy session, and/or $30 per Summit session, with a maximum charge of $100 total. Anyone who has paid the $100 registration fee for other Watertown district curriculum opportunities may attend Tech Academy and/or Summit at no charge. Payment can be made at the Academy.
USF credits will cost an additional $45 each. CEUs are available at no cost. See the Credit tab for more information.
