Editor's Notes
- For people who tell us they never can make a Thursday afternoon meeting, we are scheduling a morning meeting in January. The date has not yet been set.
- Other situations are a few people on the oldest LPDC plan (grandfathered – just a few left) and people on sabbatical
- The basket is located in the Toledo West Teacher Workroom, on a high shelf. If in Perrysburg, send it to us in the Toledo basket, marked LPDC
- Show the regular Intranet page and where the LPDC link is.
- Please do not e-mail us schedule changes, unless you are in Perrysburg. Use the sign up sheet that is in the basket. (or you can e-mail us after changing the physical sign up sheet.)Put in a picture of the sign up sheet
- Green is for goals that you wrote yourself. The goal is written on the other side.
- Yellow is for anything not related to a goal you wrote. You can include all in-service hours plus up to 20 more hours of random professional development (over 5 years).

- College courses give transcripts. Workshops, conferences and in-services give certificates. Now Accreditation teams also receive a certificate. But if you write a grant, observe a school, read a book, or do research or an educational project, nobody is going to give you a certificate.
- Normally a professional committee or high level task force should provide minutes or an attendance summary.
- An Educational Project is where you implement something new above and beyond routine classroom lesson creation. It might involve some research/reading, putting together a portfolio or lesson plans, collaboration with others, implementation and then reflection or sharing (presentation, etc.) Education Travel is not traveling to a conference. It is where travel itself is the educational purpose. (Like you travel to Chicago to experience, research and create lessons about the history of the city of Chicago.)
- Don’t be stressed out by all the different forms. They are so teacher can do a variety of activities where certificates are not provided.
- Just make it easy for us to 1-read the log sheet and 2-check off that you have documentation
