All training offerings are listed on ProGOE. Professional development is a collaborative effort of the departments that offer training district-wide. Access to the Professional Development site is handled through the Information Management Services and is the responsibility of the employee/charter school.
Professional Development opportunities are advertised in the Leadership Team Packet (LTP), to which all charter principals’ have access. ProGOE is available for workshop registration and the tracking of professional development participation along with archived in-service records
Seating is first come first serve for all participants regardless of District or Charter employment status (except as noted in individual description). Charter schools will be responsible for material costs (workbooks, books, planners, software, etc.), and will be assessed a fee if the instructional opportunity is paid for from BPS operational funds.
Charter schools participating in the district’s Title II programming will have various face to face and online courses available to them, including endorsement courses, new educator symposiums, and other workshops. Workshops that charter employees are eligible to take will be designated in the course description as “Charter School Employees Welcome”.
Each charter school will need to designate at least one staff member to serve as ProGOE Inservice Representative, who will serve as the school contact for professional development. Annually charter schools should update the names of the Inservice Representative by emailing Professional Development. Inservice Representatives will be expected to attend training sessions offered by BPS PD Department on how to create and manage professional development opportunities at their school site.
Workshops provided at the district level will be open to employees of the charter schools on a space available basis unless noted otherwise in the description. Workshops are identified with the phrase “Charter Employees Welcomed” in the description.
