The following info is from CMS' Office of Organizational Development

There is a new PD management system within MyTalent. Above is a brief introductory video on it (Professional Learning)

NOTICE: Delay in Processing Outside CMS Renewal Credit Requests:

· If you have submitted a request for outside CMS professional development or submitted a CEU report from a prior district, please note that requests will be held, but we are unable to process them at this time.

How to request renewal credit for outside CMS professional development in MyTalent/Professional Learning.

Log in to the MyTalent System using one of the following browsers: Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome

Select the Professional Learning tab
Then scroll down to My Credit Requests and click on New Credit Requests. This will bring up a data entry field. The fields in red are required. The big change is that you no longer have to copy the certificate and send it in courier. Now, you just scan it and attach it to your request where is says Upload Certificate/Documentation. When done, just click on Send Request.

If you are submitting college courses:

Please list each course name that you are requesting renewal credit for followed by the college or university name (abbreviation is fine). Then enter the approximate start and completion date of each course, and then the hours and CEUs associated with that course. The state awards a 1.5 multiplier to college courses (not continuing education courses). Therefore, a regular course that shows 3 credit hours on your transcript would normally equate to 30 hours or 3 CEUs, but with the multiplier would be entered as 45 hours and 4.5 CEUs. Since you may not need all the hours, you are welcome to enter just a few courses, based on your licensure needs.
If you need a certification or degree added to your license, you will need to contact the Licensure Department at 980-343-1908.
