The Master Plan of Inservice Activities shall be reviewed annually by the Department of Professional Development, in collaboration with other district, school, and community stakeholders. Each component shall remain in the master plan for a period of at leave five years. Inservice points awarded for successful completion of a component shall be assigned as follows: one inservice point shall be equivalent to one clock hour of participation, or as specified by the master inservice plan based on the competencies demonstrated. A letter verifying that the district school board has approved the master plan of inservice activities, and that the plan meets the criteria set forth above, shall be sent to the Florida Department of Education by October 1 of each year. The Professional Learning Catalog is the vehicle through which instructional personnel earn inservice points toward recertification of their Florida teaching certificate. This master plan of inservice activities contains all training components leading to certification. Instructional personnel must obtain 120 inservice points during the five-year validity period. Non-Instructional personnel, affiliated with certain employee groups, use inservice points toward incentive programs to verify completion of required training(s). The inservice activities outlined within the Professional Learning Catalog are designed to improve employee effectiveness, teacher practice, and ultimately student performance. Quality professional learning provides continuous support and development for all staff seeking growth in knowledge, skills, and performance. Through the implementation of this continuous improvement process, Palm Beach County will continue to raise the knowledge and skill level of all employees while making certain that highly qualified teachers are available to meet the identified instructional needs of our students.
