The Florida legislature recognizes the importance of planning for developing human potential and requires each district to develop a comprehensive Professional Learning Catalog, which was formerly known as the Master In-service Plan. Each district is required to update, revise, and submit a Professional Learning Catalog to provide a detailed description of each professional learning component, to include the name of the component, general description, primary purpose, evaluation methods for staff and students, implementation method, learning methods and participation hours.  Each unique type of professional learning experience requires a corresponding component.

In response to recent legislation, Career and Technical Education teachers can now earn in-service points for supporting students in extracurricular activities.   There is currently not a component in the Professional Learning Catalog that allows for points to be awarded for this activity. A component will be added to the Professional Learning Catalog to allow teachers to be awarded points for supporting students in extracurricular activities.

The CCDS Professional Learning Catalog was last revised in May 2023.

The CCDS Professional Learning Catalog will include a component for the  CTE (Career and Technical Education) Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO), and will allow teachers to earn in-service points in alignment with the most current statute.

Goal:   Goal 2: Talent, Recruitment, Development, and Retention

Strategy: 2.3  Retain employees through opportunities for growth and career development leading to high satisfaction and increased student outcomes.

That the Clay County School Board approve the CCDS Professional Learning Catalog.
