How do I get PD Credit for the Convention?

How do I get Job Embedded PD for attending the KAHPERD Convention in November?

     Get the Principal's Approval BEFORE the Convention,    Another important consideration is that attending the conference for PD credit should be part of a teacher’s individual professional growth plan (IPGP) OR at least mentioned in the school’s coordinated improvement plan (CSIP).   If there’s prior admin approval AND some professional growth linkage, then attending conferences for job embedded PD probably meets most criteria as effective professional development.
 
 1.   Is job embedded PD available state wide?  If so, how does it work? Job embedded PD is a concept, not a program. The value lies in teachers participating in meaningful professional growth activities during the school day, while the skills they are trying to learn are actually happening in the classroom or in the schools.
2.   How do teachers apply? There is no state application process. It’s left up to the school/district administration to interpret the process approve the time spent during the day as job embedded PD.
3.   Is there a statewide form they must use? No, it’s a local school or district process that will vary.
4.  How do they go about "paying back" the time off they receive for PD? Typically, teachers must make up the time requested as job embedded PD after school hours. Otherwise, the time would count as double, constituting “double-dipping,” which is a big no-no. (In other words, if the time was not made-up after school hours, you’d be counting the job embedded PD flex time, AND regular work time twice)
5.  Is it available so teachers can attend a state conference, such as KAHPERD, in order for teachers to receive content specific PD? Yes, that would be the intent, as long as there was linkage to attending the conference and to the teachers individual professional growth plan. This linkage is critical.
6.  After the embedded PD takes place what type of forms do teachers need to complete? Again, this will vary. At a minimum, some sort of time log should be kept, indicating when the job embedded PD time was made up after hours.
7.  Do school systems reimburse teachers for their expenses incurred at a "job embedded" workshop, i.e. registration fees, food, lodging & travel? Yes, reimbursement for expenses would be appropriate, excluding any type of stipend payment and maybe for food. Fayette County only reimburses food expenses when there is an overnight stay, so Fayette County teachers would not be reimbursed for food when attending a conference in Lexington… and we won’t let them spend the night for an in-town conference either.
