1 Earning IPDP Points Annual Review of Responsibilities and Procedures

2 District Professional Development Council  Every building has at least one teacher representative that serves on the District PDC  Building reps  Approve your requests for relicensure points  Assist with My Learning Plan  Enter all building staff development activities  Take your feedback regarding staff development to the district PDC meetings  Certified staff should direct all questions regarding IPDP points, My Learning Plan, relicensure, etc. to their building PDC rep.

3 Individual Professional Development Plan  All certified staff must complete an IPDP through My Learning Plan to earn points for relicensure. This plan remains on file from year-to-year.  An IPDP includes district, building and individual goals  The standards established by the McRel Evaluation System will serve as our district goals for all staff  Building goals vary and reflect specific building initiatives related to technology, QPA/MTSS, 21 st Century, etc.  All certified staff should identify at least one, but no more than three, individual goals in MLP  The individual goal established through McRel Evaluation Tool each year should be one of the individual goals in MLP to ensure the area targeted for improvement in McRel is tied directly to staff development  The other goals, if selecting more than one, should be goals not already addressed through building and district goals for which you may request seek staff development

4 Individual Professional Development Plan  All IPDP’s must be reviewed and/or revised and re-submitted annually to earn points for relicensure. New teachers must create a new plan.  The building PDC rep and principal will review and approve plans.  A handout with instructions will be provided to complete this task.  The deadline for submitting the IPDP is October 15, 2015.

5 Earning IPDP Points - Overview  Professional development points are awarded at three levels:  Knowledge Level - 1 Hour = 1 Point  Application Level – 2 X’s Knowledge Points  Impact Level – 3 X’s Knowledge Points  Professional development points are awarded for Service to the Profession - any activity that assists others in acquiring proficiency or that furthers the profession of education.  Points are awarded based on clock-hours spent on the activity: One Hour = One Point  There are no limits on the number of points that may be earned annually and no limits on points per activity.  Individuals must provide verification documentation when stipulated to earn points.  Refer to the revised Things that Count guidelines provided to you when identifying appropriate activities. If an activity is not on the list, it may be submitted to the District PDC for consideration via the building PDC rep.

6 Entering IPDP Points - Who’s Responsible?  All IPDP Points must be recorded in My Learning Plan  PDC reps will enter points on behalf of staff for all staff development activities that are required by the building/district and occur within the Goddard district. This includes professional development days, curriculum-related meetings, district/building committees, etc.  The documentation for these activities will be a district sign-in sheet newly implemented in 2015-16. It is the activity leader’s responsibility to provide the sign in sheet. It is the individual participant’s responsibility to sign in at every activity.  Individuals will enter points for all activities that occur outside the Goddard district. This includes college credit needed for relicensure, workshops, conferences, meetings, school visits, etc.  Individuals will enter points for all activities that occur within the district that are initiated by the individual or that vary in points among participants. This includes activities such as a book study, mentoring, supervising student teachers, etc.  Remember to refer to the Things That Count document as needed.

7 Entering IPDP Points - Deadlines  All points earned for the purpose of relicensure must be entered in My Learning Plan during the school year in which the activity occurred.  The District PDC believes individuals are responsible for tasks related to relicensure, and that includes entering points in a timely manner.  Effective 2015-16, activities from prior years may not be entered and will not be approved unless the individual can demonstrate extenuating circumstances that made entering activities within the required time frame impossible.  Activities that occurred during the summer prior to the start of each school year may still be entered for points. Individuals are encouraged to do this as soon as possible.

8 Entering IPDP Points - Documentation  Individual activities completed both outside and within the district require some form of documentation verifying participation before points are awarded.  Once an individual enters an activity in MLP, he/she must present documentation to the building PDC rep either via email or in person. The only exception to this is college credit.  Examples of documentation include notes/programs from a workshop, a log of hours, a certificate, etc.  Individuals are responsible for any documentation of involvement in an activity as well as the number of hours earned for that activity.  PDC Reps will not approve points without documentation or evidence of participation in the individual activity.

9 Entering IPDP Points - Changes  Prior approval of individual activities is no longer required! Individuals will enter all activities – including college courses – upon completion of the activity.  A reflection component has been added to the activity form in MLP. Individuals must complete this before submitting the form.  A set number of points is no longer assigned to activities. For example, mentoring a new teacher or supervising a student teacher previously earned a teacher 20 points. Beginning in 2015-16 individuals earn one point for every hour engaged in that activity. NOTE: A log of hours is required and the points may vary among individuals for the same activity.

10 Entering IPDP Points - Forms  There are four forms available for entering individual activities. (Remember…the District PDC will enter district activities.) Forms are listed on the left under “Fill-In Forms.” The Activity Request form will be used most frequently. There is also a form for college credit and for Application & Impact points.

11 College Credit Relicensure vs Salary Advancement  The only reason college credit must be entered in MLP is to renew a license.  A Bachelor’s Degree requires 160 points - 80 points of college credit which is 4 college credit hours – to renew. The other 80 points can be IPDP points.  A Master’s Degree requires 120 points but does not require college credit, although it is acceptable.  If enrolled in an approved program with a plan of study on file with a college or university to add an endorsement to your license, you can renew using those credits without converting to points via MLP.  If taking classes to advance on the salary schedule only it is not required or necessary to enter them in MLP.  Upon entering college credit in MLP, the only documentation required is an official transcript sent to District Office. The building PDC rep will only verify the submission is complete.  College credits for relicensure expire upon renewal of your license as you must renew with points earned during that licensure period. You can’t enter them to “save up” on points.  Remember, prior approval is no longer needed – enter the college credit upon completion of the course!

12 License Renewal  Renewing a license is a personal and professional responsibility. The District PDC oversees IPDP’s and earning points and, while willing to answer general questions, is not responsible for licensure renewal of individuals.  Individuals request a MLP transcript from Keri Reynolds via email when ready to renew.  Individuals contact colleges/universities for transcripts if renewing using college credit. NOTE: You must provide a transcript even though the courses are entered in MLP and it must be included with application, MLP transcript and payment.  Individuals will download the appropriate renewal form from www.ksde.org. Individuals will download new license from KSDE once process is complete and send a copy to Ann Sears at District Office. www.ksde.org  Once an individual renews a license, all unused IPDP points or college credit hours expire.

13 MLP Email Notifications  Every certified staff member with a MLP account can select to receive email notifications.  Notifications are sent at midnight only if an action is taken or an action is needed by you related to an activity. All notifications are included in one email if there are multiple actions.  To set email notifications in MLP, follow these steps:  Select “My User Profile” at the bottom of the left-side panel.  Under“PDMS Email Notification Preferences” select “Yes” to those activities you wish to receive email notifications.  If email address is missing, add it.  Scroll to the bottom and “Save.”

14 What’s Next?  Follow the instructions provided to re-submit IPDP’s in MLP by October 15.  Set your preferences in MLP to receive email notifications to better monitor activities and points.  Enter any activities completed during the summer months in MLP as soon as possible.  Save the Things That Count document your PDC rep will email you for reference throughout the year.  Contact your building PDC rep as questions/concerns arise.
