What to do with PD Hours
What are PD Hours Anyway?
Whenever you attend training that meets the Illinois School Board of Education (ISBE) standards for Professional Development, you can earn Professional Development Hours (previously referred to as Continuing Professional Development Units, thus CPDU's). Depending on your particular program, you will need these hours to renew your Professional Educator License in Illinois and you can use them to accrue Professional Credits to advance on the salary schedule in U-46. For helpful information, see the links below!
PLEASE NOTE: The PD hour (CPDU) forms that you accrue during NTO can be used for Illinois Licensure but cannot be submitted for Professional Credits as you are being paid an hourly wage for the time spent during NTO.
