Professional learning sessions must have a minimum of TEN participants to commence. Points earned for course completion shall be applied to re-certification; the points do not apply to the 36 hours of school-based professional development required by TCPS contract hours unless authorized by your administrator.
For online courses, facilitators will email course details to participants on the start date and you have until the end of the catalog to complete your assignments. For in-person courses, you will receive an email the day before the meeting date to verify if the class will take place.
If schools are closed or released early due to inclement weather or other emergencies, in-person classes will be postponed. The facilitator will email with instructions.
By completing registration for a session, you commit to attend on the designated day(s) of the event and/or completing all online requirements for credit. If you do not attend the first session, you will be dropped from the course.
If an emergency arises and you cannot attend a face-to-face session or complete online coursework by the due date, you must contact the facilitator to cancel or make further arrangements. As a professional courtesy, please contact facilitators as soon as possible if you need to cancel.
All follow-up activities and assignments must be submitted by the due date determined by the course facilitator. Failure to meet the deadlines may result in loss of credit.
Attendees will complete online coursework via Google Classroom. Attendees will access Google Classroom with their @tcpsva.org account.
Upon course completion, attendees will receive a digital copy of a course certificate. Book study participants will receive course certificates once books have been returned to an ITRT or their facilitator. Attendees are responsible for submitting certificates to administrators for recertification points.
