During the past week, the Agency Professional Learning Committee has been reviewing workgroup professional learning plans. The committee was excited to see the effort put forth in gathering input from all members of workgroups as well as the variety of professional learning activities identified in the plans. There have been some questions from staff about what happens once an individual has been approved for travel. Below are some of the questions that have been asked along with their answers.
Q: When will I know if my workgroup plan has been approved?
A: The Agency Professional Learning Committee plans to have all submitted workgroup plans approved by November 16. Workgroup facilitators will be receiving written feedback from the committee.
Q: To whom do I submit reimbursement for approved professional learning activities?
A: Travel forms or requests for reimbursement for workgroup professional learning activities should be submitted to Sharon Kurns or Anita Davids for approval.
Q: Do I need to enter leave into the IFAS Online Leave system? Who approves my professional learning leave?
A: Professional learning leave should be entered for workshops, conferences or classes attended; it is not necessary to record mandatory professional learning, e.g., discipline days, domain days, regional meetings etc. There is no set minimum or maximum hours/days of professional learning leave; it is a tracking measure only. Professional learning leave does not subtract or affect any other leave types or balances. Professional learning leave should be submitted to and approved by your supervisor.
