Professional Development Requests

TSD CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION [CPE]

State requirements mandate instructional staff to have 150 hours every five years to qualify for state recertification.  Maintaining these hours is the responsibility of the individual certified staff member.  As a state approved provider, TSD may approve workshops for CPE credit.

 

COMPLETE A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT REQUEST

All staff considering a professional development training need to complete a request form 4 weeks in advance from the first day of the training.  When you complete the fillable PDF form, you will need to save it and send it to your supervisor for review before they send it to our office. You must attach the professional development flyer or description to the request form.  The fillable form is the first PDF document listed on the right.  Requests will be fielded for whether it responds to the current strategic plan or student needs and approval will be determined.  Those who have made requests will be notified via email whether they are approved. 

 

Here is the PDF Attachment of the 2021-2026 Strategic Plan:

CONSIDERING SOMEONE TO PRESENT TO YOUR DEPARTMENT OR GROUP OF EDUCATORS?

Complete a PD Request for a Speaker or Trainer.  The fillable form is the second document listed on the right.  Requests need to be made 4 weeks in advance and determination will be based on whether it responds to the current strategic plan or need of the school as well as costs involved in such request.  You will need to save the fillable PDF form and send it to your supervisor for review before they send it to our office.
