NON-PROTRAXX+PD

=NOT ALL PD COMES FROM PROTRAXX.=

WHAT ELSE COUNTS AS PD?

 * ===Course work from any college course you are taking that is related to your job/certificate.===
 * ===Training offered by outside providers, like Discovery Education, Smart Technologies, World Book, museums, etc.===
 * ===Grade meetings with your supervisor===
 * ===Curriculum Planning (June Planning)===
 * ===Any day deemed as an all day PD day by the school/city===
 * ===Mentoring===
 * ===Sabbatical work===
 * ===Working on the CEP for the school===
 * ===Holding office in a professional organization===
 * ===Delivering workshops to teachers/parents===
 * ===Grading State Assessments===

==== __IMPORTANT:__ I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON THIS. I AM ONLY CONVEYING MY UNDERSTANDING OF MY RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC. FOR THE DEFINITIVE WORD ON WHAT COUNTS AND WHAT DOESN'T COUNT, SEE THE [|NYS WEBSITE] ==== (I did check with someone from NYS, and was told that these activities do meet PD requirements, but that the school district--which I guess in our case is the DOE--has the final say.)

For other things, maintain your own record sheet. NYS provides one at this site:

 * Have your supervisor sign off on any PD hours accrued in the school on school time.**
