- PDPs: We have a wide range of licenses in the building that each have specific PDP requirements. Staff should be aware of the professional requirements of their license. If you need help locating these requirements please discuss this with your supervisor during coaching. To help everyone keep track of their PDP points we will be including the PDP points in the PD day agendas and continuing to link the resources (PowerPoints, handouts, virtual links etc.) that can be used as evidence. We are adding the PD points to the August agenda. All agendas can be found in the Teaching and Learning Cycle at the bottom. Let your supervisor know if you have any questions or need any help with tracking PDPs
