When completing the college plan it is critical that you enter the course number and name as it will be listed on your college transcript.

During re-licensure KSDE will compare your transcripts with the PDC transcript and if they don't match, you will have to invest additional time trying to correct it after the fact and this probably won't happen at the most ideal time.

You can select from three choices for the category. They include content standard, professional education, and service to the profession.

You select content standard when you are talking a college class that is increasing your content knowledge. For instance, if you are taking a class that addresses math or reading standards.

You select professional education when you are taking a class that is increasing your knowledge about various teaching strategies. For instance, a cooperative learning class would fit under this category.

You select service to the profession when you are presenting to other educators, supervising a student teacher, participating in building, district, state and national committee work.

1. Course# and Name – include the prefix, for example: EDU 345 Graphic Organizers in the Content Classroom� Category - Content Standards (your state standards or content area)� Professional Education (strategies you use to teach)� Service to the Profession (school improvement, building, district, state, and national committee work) these cannot be taken to the application or impact levels�College or University – Select a college or university from the drop-down list. �If the school was not on the list, enter it in the box below and you must record who the school is accredited by.�When taking a college class it is important to make sure the college is accredited by a KSDE approved institution. Most major universities will be fine, but some online-only universities might not be accredited by one of these acceptable accreditation agencies.

When in doubt, please either seek additional information on the university's web page or contact the staff development office for assistance.

Required:

An individual book study can be done on your own or with colleagues. Completing a book study can be an effective way to gain knowledge in an area that is of more personal interest to you.

Completing the form for a book study is straight-forward; however, finishing all the required documentation can be a bit tricky. You are required to write a summary for each chapter of the book. These summaries can be contained in one document but must be uploaded to your file library before attaching to our book study form. Finally, you will need to complete the individual book study assessment.

In order to upload your summaries to your file library, you will need to click on my info icon and then My file Library. Then select the add file button to upload your document. Now, you will be able to attach it to your individual book study plan.

For classes that do not offer college credit, use the following to determine points: One month course equals 1 college credit or 20 points, two month course equals 2 college credits or 40 points, three months or more is equal to 3 college credits or 60 points.

Make sure to look in the handbook for answers to any questions. Use the link to access the handbook on the USD305 Website If you still need help try talking to your building representative or call the BOE Staff Development Office for assistance.
