Online Professional Development Sources

NCDPI often receives inquiries on how staff that are not in the NCEES system can access PD opportunities within the NCEES catalog.

The online professional modules offered by NCDPI are in Home Base/NCEES. Access to online PD in the Home Base system is managed through an active employee ID Number, so only current employees of North Carolina Public School Districts or Charter Schools can access Home Base.

There is no mechanism for others to access and hence use the educator resources housed in the Home Base system.

Here are a few sites that may help staff search for PD outside of NCEES. The first source is free of cost....others may have a charge associated.

NOTE: not all of these listings are endorsed by NCDPI - check and vette any searches to find what best meets credit needs. Follow local professional developemnt policy on approval processes. Some districts require prior approval before participating in credit earning PD.
