Just a friendly reminder about Professional Development Hours...
PLEASE make sure that you are registering for ANY and ALL conferences that you are attending, whether it falls under a Superintendent's Conference Day or Professional Development Day, using My Learning Plan. This is particularly important for new teachers that fall under the Initial/Professional Teacher Certification guidelines. You WILL NOT gain all of your hours through these days and we want to make sure that no one is at risk of losing certification over this matter.
If you are a teacher that falls under these new provisions please check the NYSED website to verify what you can and cannot use for Professional Development hours. This is extremely important :)
Follow the attached link that was provided by NYSED in regards to Professional Development Hours. There is also a link provided on our district website. Hopefully this will help those of you who need to follow these guidelines.
