  2. PI 34 – What do I need to know? • Teacher licensing process has changed • “Grandparented” licensed educators • Continue old process: 6 credits – 5 years • Utilize the new process: Develop a PDP • May switch back & forth if desired • August 2004 graduates • Must use the new process

  3. If I’m in the old system, why change? • More options for individualized professional development • Could result in less cost to renew license • Learn the new process in order to mentor initial educators more effectively • Know process to be a PDP Reviewer • Work towards a “Master Educator” license

  4. How does PI 34 affect my current license? • With a current 5 year license, you will be issued a “professional educator” license when you renew • If you add a NEW license in same category, you will get a “professional educator” license • If you choose to add a new license in a DIFFERENT category, you will receive an “initial educator” license.

  5. New Stages of Educator Licensing • Initial • Granted to new educators • 3-5 year non-renewable license • Professional • Currently licensed educators • 5 year renewable license • Master • New DPI process in development • National Board certification

  6. Initial Educator License • 3-5 year non-renewable license • Renewal Process • Year 1 – Reflection, Work with Mentor, Development of Professional Development Plan (PDP) based on Teacher Standards • Year 2 – PDP goal approved by Team; Begin working on the goal and its objectives • Year 3, 4, 5 – Fulfillment of plan goal and objectives; artifacts verified by Team; License renewed

  7. Professional Educator License • 5-year renewable license • Develops a PDP working toward proficiency in 2 or more educator standards • PDP verified by Team; license renewed

  8. Master Educator License • Voluntary 10-year renewable license • Two methods to obtain • DPI Process – Under development • National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS)

  9. Create YOUR plan Select the strategies to achieve YOUR goals & objectives Graduate credit is not required Creation of written plan takes effort and time Salary scales do not yet reflect salary advancement based on PDPs Pros & Cons

  10. Two different perspectives • You are currently a professional educator • You choose between the two systems • You are an initial educator • Required to use the new PI 34 system

  11. Writing of the Professional Development Plan Required of all educators using PI 34

  12. The PDP – What does it look like? • Components mandated by DPI rule • Reflection • Description of school and situation • Description of personal goal based on standards • Rationale for the goal • Description of plan assessment • Stating of objectives, activities, timeline, collaboration

  13. Paper PDP – Electronic PDP?Your choice! • Plan has been put into electronic word processing formats • DPI website • Local districts • Plan accessed via web • Wisconsin PDP (CESA 10 LRSC) • QEI

  14. Once the PDP goal is created –two perspectives come into play Professional Educator & Initial Educator

  15. Professional Educator Has the option of NOT convening a team for PDP goal approval Team Make-up 3 Peers Initial Educator Must convene a team from DPI approved list Peer Administrator IHE representative Two Perspectives

  16. OK. As an Initial Educator, my goal is created…now what? • Convene your review team • Team reviews all components • Approves – you’re on your way • Rejects – you need to make modifications and resubmit to Team • Carry out your plan • Maintain documentation/artifacts

  17. My plan has been carried out. Now what? (Both groups) • Reconvene your Team. • Team verifies that the plan is completed, signs off on DPI form. • You submit sign-off form and fee to DPI • License Renewed!

  18. Who/What is the Review Team? • Professional and Master Educators may serve on PDP Review Teams • Reviewers are required to go through a DPI training • Reviewers come from different categories: • teachers, • administrators, • representatives from Institutions of Higher Education (IHE = WI universities)

  19. Who is on my Review Team? • If you are a Professional Educator, your team is 3 peers from approved list. • If you are an Initial Educator, your team is made up of • Peer (not the mentor) • Administrator • IHE representative

  20. How do I convene my team? • Depends on which format you choose to use. • Web-based formats provide for an automated system to select, invite, and communicate with Reviewers • Paper-based systems – depends on district guidelines

  21. Does the using of the PDP process result in different expenses for the ‘grandparented’ educator? • Yes • Reviewers must get compensated for their time – PDP is not reviewed on “school time” • Perhaps – access to a web-based product • BUT … • There can be a savings in tuition expense • Districts may elect to assist in the fees

  22. What are the fees for initial educators? Projected… • CESA 10 License Renewal Support Center • $275 – (years 1 - 2) includes seminar “PDP Writing,” Help Desk, assistance with convening the Team, access & training to use a web-based PDP system, payment to reviewers. This fee covers the process through PDP goal approval. • $200 estimated (3-5 years from now) – includes Help Desk, assistance with convening the Team, payment to reviewers, PDP verification, assistance with submission to DPI for license renewal

  24. As a ‘grandparented’ educator, I want to use the new system. What are my next steps?

  25. License renewal in 2006 or later… • Let your Personnel Department know you are going to use the PDP process • Select a PDP format (electronic vs. paper) • Gather any/all professional development artifacts that you have collected since your last renewal • Advised – enroll in a “PDP Writing” seminar • Create your goal • Advised – have a Team review the initial PDP goal • Carry out the plan • Submit for final verification – renew license.

  26. What other changes are in store with PI 34? • School District Requirements • Provide a trained Mentor to work with Initial Educators • Trained Mentors are Professional and Master Educators who are willing to assist their new colleagues – Compensation varies with districts • Offer on-going orientation sessions • Provide access to support seminars
