Professional
Development Plan resource on BOCES web site
A section
of our web site is now devoted to employee
professional development and is expected to be fully
operational by mid-May. Each
part of the professional development site is available
to all BOCES staff, with the exception of the PDP
Timekeeper, an on-line registration, approval and
recording software that tracks an individual's
professional development hours. This
software is being piloted this year by all of our teaching
assistants and newly certified teachers for whom SED
requires 75 or 175 hours of professional development
every five years in order to maintain certification.
An
evaluation of the usefulness of this site is expected by
January 2006, when it may be expanded to include other
employee groups. To
visit the site and read more about professional
development, courses available through the four BOCES
divisions, rubrics, and PDP Timekeeper go to
