Looking for Professional Development to Satisfy your 7.5 Personal Flex Hours? Here are some ideas:
- Participate in the apple teacher program, to complete badges which will help you become more proficient with your iPads and some of the Apple Apps in one or more of the following: iPad, Pages for iPad, Productivity with iPad, and Creativity with iPad. Website is appleteacher.apple.com. 1 Badge = 1 hour PD credit
- Earn digital badges that relate to your T-TESS goal from the district's badges website http://badges.pisd.edu/. Please negotiate credit hours with Bryan, but typically 1 badge = 15 - 30 minutes.
- Join a PISD Goal Group that directly ties to your T-TESS goal: https://www.smore.com/bh4sf-goal-group?ref=email. Amount of PD credit is determined based on how much you participate. Most goal group participants will receive 1.5 hours of PD credit.
