How do I know what courses to complete on OTIS?
You can complete any OTIS course as long as it embraces the vision of each pillar.
Under the "Resources" tab at the top of the site, there is a link to suggested training for each pillar if you need a starting point.
How do I report documentation for each badge?
After completing each learning experience, you will submit a Google Form reflection.
A member of the PAECT Pioneer Team will review your form and notify you of either successful completion or the need for revision.
Once you receive notice of successful completion of all learning criteria in a module, you will earn your badge.
How will I earn Act 48 hours?
As long as you complete all requirements within the 3 modules, submit all reflections, earn all badges, and have provided your PPID, PAECT will submit your information to the PDE for your Act 48 hours.
