Content:

and others…
Professional Education:
Those standards adopted by the state board that specify the knowledge, competency, and skills necessary to perform in a particular role or position.
Service to the Profession:
Definition: Any activity that assists others in acquiring proficiency in instructional systems, pedagogy, or content, or that directly relates to licensure of professional educators, accreditation processes, or professional organizations.

18. Reminders / Notes from KSDE
Issuing points for re-licensure purposes vs. local purposes (points for local purposes can be issued however the district/system would like; those for re-licensure purposes must be awarded as indicated in regulation)
This will likely mean two different point totals – every activity done doesn’t mean points will be issued for re-licensure purposes (but can for local)
Every licensed staff member in the system (including the superintendent, principals, etc.) must have an individual professional development plan (IPDP) approved by the PDC before points can be earned for re-licensure purposes.
The goals on an individual’s IPDP can match the goals on his/her evaluation.
They don’t have to be two separate situations.
Staff switching districts should leave with a final, official point transcript and keep it for his/her next renewal.  The new district should not put points earned in a previous district on their point transcripts.
