Real Example: From Observation to Growth

Observation: "Limited student engagement during direct instruction. Consider incorporating more interactive strategies."
PD Goal Created: "Attend student engagement workshop and implement interactive strategies" (5 hours needed for quarterly goal)
Teacher Action: Finds local workshop, attends training, uploads certificate to platform, reflects on key learnings in PD journal
Result: Follow-up observation shows improved student engagement using new strategies. Growth documented in evaluation and connected to PD completion.

Frequently Asked Questions About PD Tracking

How many PD hours do teachers need?

Professional development hour requirements vary significantly by state and district. Most states require 15-30 hours annually for license renewal, with some requiring up to 175 hours over 5 years. Many districts have additional PD requirements beyond state minimums, often totaling 40-60 hours per year including mandatory trainings, subject-specific PD, and self-directed learning. Our platform tracks your specific requirements and sends reminders.

What counts as professional development for teachers?

Qualifying professional development typically includes: workshops and conferences, graduate coursework, online courses and webinars, professional learning communities (PLCs), peer observations and coaching, action research projects, curriculum development, mentoring other teachers, and presenting at educational conferences. Activities must usually relate to your teaching assignment or school improvement goals. Our platform helps categorize activities correctly for your state.

How does the platform connect observations to PD?

When administrators conduct classroom walkthroughs, they tag areas for growth (like "student engagement" or "differentiation"). Our AI analyzes these patterns and automatically suggests relevant PD opportunities from your district's catalog or external providers. Teachers see personalized recommendations in their dashboard, making PD selection purposeful rather than random.

Can teachers upload existing PD certificates?

Yes! Teachers can bulk upload all existing certificates when they start using the platform. Our OCR technology automatically extracts details like date, hours, provider, and topic. You can also forward email confirmations directly to your account. Everything is organized chronologically and searchable.

How does the district benefit from PD tracking?

Districts gain complete visibility into PD participation and effectiveness. Analytics show which PD topics are most needed, participation rates, and correlation with improved teaching practices. This data helps optimize PD budgets, plan district-wide trainings, and demonstrate continuous improvement to stakeholders.
