Professional Development Opportunities

All Induction candidates must document 18 hours of professional development (PD). While site administrators likely have many other suggestions, here are some that can be done on your own. Please complete the PD Tracker worksheet in order to keep track of the PD in which you participate.

NOTE: If you are taking classes or attempting to use PD for units to move over on the salary schedule, you must submit the request to your site secretary PRIOR to taking the class or participating in the professional development. Approval must be obtained prior to beginning the class/PD.
