During the webinar, some questions about professional learning were posed. Answers are provided below. If you have additional questions, don’t hesitate to contact Sharon Kurns, Director of Professional Learning & Leadership at skurns@aea11.k12.ia.us or ext. 14362.
Q: To whom exactly do they send the requests to on the workgroup professional development committees?
A: Your discipline program assistant typically facilitates your workgroup professional development committees. The program assistant would be a great place to start.
Q: Does professional leave come out of our sick leave or OPL?
A: Professional leave does not come out of either your sick leave or OPL. It is another type of leave, and therefore, does not impact other leave options.
Q: What is the FIE checklist? We have to complete two? Some SLPs don’t know what this is.
A: The FIE checklist was introduced during the August special education professional development. The link for the video about it is here: http://iowaec.na4.acrobat.com/p29562915/. If you need to follow up and hear the information again, please review the video. Again, you were asked in August to complete the checklist for at least two evaluations that you complete this fall. We will follow up and use your work during the Special Education Winter Institute in December/January.
Q: When you say “request professional leave” from your supervisor, are you meaning actually go on to the online leave request and complete a leave request for professional leave?
A: Yes. You will request professional leave using the same system you use for OPL and sick leave.
