Welcome Hello ColleaguesPLAT is, once again, very excited to share the Professional Learning Course Guide for Fall 2018. You may take these optional learning experience to earn inservice credits (applied toward your 3 in 3), stipend, and salary credits (applied toward a salary channel change). 3 in 3 As you make choices for your development, consider if you want to take the course for pay or to earn credit toward your 3 in 3 (three learning credits every three years). For details on 3 in 3, please see the 3 in 3 Explained. Some courses are only offered for pay, some only for credit, and some are offered for either pay or credit.

Before making a course selection, carefully read the course description. Many courses are opportunities for teachers of the same course/level to work together. Also, some courses are subject specific—so even though it might look like a great course, it may not be applicable for your learning needs. If you aren’t sure if the course is open to all certified staff members, contact the course instructor prior to registering. When in doubt, contact the instructor first. Happy Learning! This school year we are piloting providing a $25 book/resource credit upon completion of a course INSTEAD of ordering books/resources for participants. ● PLAT will collect data on the pilot and review in Feb to determine how to move forward in the summer. The following informed this pilot: ● About 30% of participants drop the course after registering. ○ We are stuck with extra unused books/resources. ○ In the case of courses with waiting lists, it is challenging to track down the book/resource from the dropped participant, move to the next person on the waiting list, and get it to them in a timely manner. ● With online courses increasing, we are finding it challenging for our office and instructors to get books/resources to participants that they may never see face to face. ● The bulk of the text are around $25. ● Because of our finance policy, there is often a multi-week delay between knowledge of purchase needed and arrival of texts. ○ Most books/resources are readily available online with a very quick delivery timeframe. ● It is standard practice for participants to provide their own texts for college courses, because we pride ourselves in offering courses equivalent to college courses, this is inline with common practice.
