Participants of PD sessions are paid the contractual PD rate of $29.45 per hour. Turn around time is generally 4 to 6 weeks from the date of the session. The time frame may vary due to the size of the event and/or the volume of paperwork that needs to be processed. The payment will be coded most likely with SD CURRIC on your paycheck.

Participants receive Act 48 hours for all PD sessions coordinated by the OTL team. Every session will have an Act 48 sign-in sheet. Sign-in is mandatory to receive Act 48 hours. You can view your accumulated hours by accessing Cornerstone.

All registration is done through Cornerstone. Search with the session title or use the calendar. Click on the session and register. Note the contact info for the session facilitator. If you cannot attend a session, email the facilitator to let them know.

Some workshops are offered multiple times, but some are not. Contact the facilitator for more information.

Talk to your principal. If there is time, your facilitator and principal will set it up.

Our sessions and workshops are open to all PFT members; however, much of the material is geared towards classroom teachers. If you are a paraprofessional, you can attend and receive continuing education hours that count towards your annual requirement, but you may not qualify for payment.
