PD 360

This is the time of the year when many teacher's are looking for ways to gather that last unit of CEUs right before their license expires. UCPS has provided a means for teacher's to choose the things that they feel are most relevant to the teaching assignment through the PD 360 video series. Noted educators such as Doug Reeves, Margaret Mooney, Rick Stiggins, Richard and Rebecca DuFour are just a few of the presenters that are available on demand for staff to view. Two courses are available in Moodle for credit. Under the Professional Development Category, you will find "PD 360 Pick 1" and "PD 360 Pick 3." The requirements for each are listed below:

PD 360 "Pick 1"

Requirements:
