******************

Registration opens on eReg - June 11

Register early for best selection and to avoid cancelled sessions.

FEES:

• S.D. #23 teacher - $35/full or part day/– (Fees will be paid from your school Pro-d fund. Your school pro-d rep/secretary will be invoiced directly.)
• T.T.O.C.s:  Register as above. Registration costs will be charged to the C.O.T.A. T.T.O.C. PD account. 
• Some charges for individual workshops may apply (check descriptions)
• Cancellations must be processed through cbodeux@sd23.bc.ca
• You will be charged if you don’t cancel by Aug 30
• Refunds will only be issued under special circumstances.

It is a condition of employment that teachers attend Professional Development during the last week of August - Summer Institute. 

• If your activity is outside of this week you should be filling in a PDP form.
• An Individual Pro-d Activity form would be used if you intend to do your own activity, rather than a registered workshop, during the week of Aug. 30th. 

If a teacher is hired after June 30th the Administrator will give that teacher an opportunity to file a PDP.  If a teacher is hired after the summer Pro-d days, that teacher must file a PDP in order to be paid for 3 of the days during the extra week of Spring Break.

Teachers may elect to develop a Professional Development Plan (PDP) for the next or current school year indicating a goal(s) and activities to be pursued.  These activities can be done [at the teacher's option] in lieu of any, or all, of the designated professional development days in summer (it is possible to complete the Professional Development Plan process and still participate in the three summer Pro-D days), but may not be done to replace Pro-D days during the regular school year.

If a teacher is planning on doing self-directed professional development (i.e. professional reading, research, collegial discussions) on a regularly scheduled Pro-d day they should be filling in an Individual Pro-d Activity form.  This form is intended to be the paperwork trail that protects you should anyone question what you were doing on a Pro-d day.  Please keep a file for your Pro-d activities.  The Pro-d chair reviews the forms only to ensure that everything is in order and our contract is being observed.

Teachers choosing a Professional Growth Plan (PGP) for their Teacher Performance Appraisal should know before the end of June preceding the year that they are to be evaluated.  They may choose to use Summer Institute workshops towards their PGP.

“Be Green” – bring your personal water bottle to refill.
