You can now earn professional development renewal credits from the comfort of your home or mobile device with Piedmont's new online professional development offerings. 

Separate self-paced assignments for the latest IBO training webinars are now available on the Piedmont Google Classroom PD site.  The online Google Classroom for Course 1 - IB Webinars 1-5 is running now . Course 2-  IB Webinars 5-10 will be offered next year.  

All you have to do is go to classroom.google.com, login with your work email and Google Drive password, click the + sign at the top of the home screen and join with the code that was listed in your weekly bulletin (see Lisa Gurthie if you need the code) and start earning at your own pace. 

Each of the 5 Google Classroom assignments consists of: 
  1. Playing the one hour audio webinar with accompanying video slides (example in video above)
  2. Completing and submitting the google form listed with each video assignment. (sample assignment questions )
Each assignment should take 2 hours for a total of 10 hours per course.

 Start learning and earning today from the comfort of your own home!

Information about how to receive credit in MyTalent will be forthcoming as soon as the course is available on that site.

From CMS PD office:

Did you know that there are changes to the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification process?

The cost and amount of portfolio work has been reduced while the time allotted to complete the certification has increased.

The state of North Carolina currently pays an additional 12 percent of your base salary once certification is completed.  Study groups are now available for registration in the Professional Learning section of My Talent.  We hope all initial and renewal candidates will join us on Saturday, October 11, 2014 for our Candidate Kickoff.

If you want to participate in this year's certification process, find more information at http://pdsupport.cmswiki.wikispaces.net/National+Board+Information  

Email us at nboffice if you have questions after reviewing the pages on the wiki.
