How do I get credit for attending PD that the district didn't organize?
For training that is NOT organized by the school district, you will need to:
IMPORTANT: Request PD credit approval from your principal *before* participating in an outside-the-district PD. Please do not assume that it will be approved.
Submit a certificate of attendance in Vector (as an attachment), which is typically provided by the trainer.
If no certificate is provided, you may request credit by completing a Professional Development Reflection Form. This form is only valid when no certificate is distributed, or when no other form of documentation is provided.

Three actions are typically required in Vector:
ENROLL *before* the PD starts. Vector removes a PD from the "Available Events" list after its start time.
SIGN-IN. If the meeting is in-person, you will most likely be asked to sign-in on paper. If the meeting is online, you most likely be asked to sign-in to Vector using an Attendance Verification Code. The host will supply this code during or near the end of the session. You are *required* to enter this code within 30 minutes of the PD session's conclusion.
FEEDBACK form is required in Vector *after* the PD session is scheduled to end.

An attendance verification code is used by Vector to confirm attendance at online PD sessions. The PD host will supply attendees with a code, either during or near the end of a PD session. Once you have the code, follow these instructions:
Click "My Activities" tab
Find the title of the PD session you are attending
Click the green "Sign In" button (bottom-right)
Enter the code supplied by the PD host
NOTE: You are *required* to enter the Attendance Verification Code within 30 minutes of the PD session's conclusion. You *must* enter the Attendance Verification Code to receive credit for attendance. We recommend that you write it down before you leave the PD.

FEEDBACK: How do I provide feedback to a district-organized PD session?
Vector is set up so that you must complete a Feedback Form before it awards PD credit.
Click "My Activities" tab
Find the title of the PD session you attended
Click the green "Feedback" button (bottom-right)
Enter feedback and click "Submit"
NOTE: This form becomes available only after the PD session is scheduled to end. So if it ends early, you will likely need to wait until its scheduled end-time to fill out the Feedback Form.
