Title: PD1 Master Inservice Plan

Recommendation:

I recommend that the School Board approve the Master Inservice Plan to include new components added since April 20, 2005.

Description:

• Florida Statutes 1012.585 and 1012.985 and State Board of Education Rule 6A.5071 require the development and maintenance of an inservice education and training program for all employees. 
• The Master Inservice Plan, coordinated through the Staff Development/HRMD office, must contain all training components leading to certification.  It is based on documentation of the assessment process utilized to determine inservice training needs.  Each component shall remain in the plan for a period of at least five (5) years.
• The current listing consists of active components and new components which cover a variety of topic areas, including non-instructional strategies, instructional strategies (including reading and writing), assessments, safe schools, mathematics, science, social studies, counseling, multicultural education, family involvement, career education, technology, legal services, and Protocol Standards.

The current list of inservice components can be viewed on the Staff Development web site
(http://www.palmbeach.k12.fl.us/StaffDev/).

Financial Impact:
No financial impact to the District.
