Professional Learning
The intention of the Site Professional Learning Log is to give credit to professional learning that you have done at our site that is not tracked through district sign-in sheets. This year the process has changed and lives in Kickup.
In place of signing and turning in your Site Professional Learning Log, confirm your attendance of completion of at least 21 hours of site learning by using this link to Kickup. Complete this task by Tuesday, April 30. If you are short hours, let me know. If you have tracked your hours on paper this year, that document is for your records. Questions? Feel free to reach out to me or to Martha Doennig (mdoennig@spsmail.org) in the Department of Professional Learning.
