Professional Development Benchmarks Dates
The “Inservice Application” must be approved prior to the activity, not after the completion of the workshop or course.
Timelines for Professional Development
*A current PDP must be on file, and all activities must receive prior approval*
Paperwork MUST be submitted within 6 months of the date of the completion of the activity. If hours need to be credited before July 1, submission is due by May 1.
Requests for reimbursement must be received by the SAU within 90 days of the completion of the activity and not later than May 1.
Activities completed and submitted after May 1 will be reimbursed from the next fiscal year’s allotment.
A notice of individual professional development hours comes from the SAU in the fall. A second notice is sent in March for those who are in the process of certification renewal for the new cycle in July. Final recertification forms are sent from the DOE to the SAU and then distributed to teachers in April. Hours earned after April 1 then go to the next recertification cycle.
