Notes
All courses are On-Demand which means they can be done at any time through the dates listed. Participants may work at their own pace.
Course completion status is pulled from the Beacon website once a month by the Office of Professional Learning (OPL) and recorded in MyPD. If you need the points recorded quickly due to the testing timeline, print the certificate and send it to the Inservice Secretary at the Office of Professional Learning in the Dillon Admin Center.
Once the course is recorded, a survey will be available on your MyPD homepage. This survey must be finished to receive credit.
Direct Beacon account or course registration or completion questions to the Santa Rosa Inservice Secretary at 983-5192.
When all requirements have been met to register for the Praxis test, contact Terry Powell at 983-5037.
