Frontline Professional Growth (PLU) & Evaluation Management
The RI Department of Education (RIDE) uses Frontline's Employee Evaluation Management (EEM) platform to house the forms and artifacts necessary for Teacher and Support Professional evaluations. South Kingstown School Department also utilizes the Frontline Education platform to provide staff with a method to access and document professional development. This system will keep track of Professional Learning Units (PLUs) required for RIDE recertification. More information regarding PLUs and recertification can be found here.
