Professional Learning Unit Credits


Note:  What was previously known as a Staff Development Unit (SDU) is now called a Professional Learning Unit (PLU). For more information, see the Georgia Department of Education website.

Steps for Receiving PLU Credit for GaETC Fall 2004:

1. Complete the Prior Approval Form and have it signed by your school superintendent or designee.
2. Turn in the Prior Approval Form at the Professional Learning Desk in the conference registration area at the Macon Centreplex. Pick up a copy of the Workshop Attendance Confirmation Form and/or Concurrent Sessions Confirmation Form to be completed during the conference.
3. Attend workshops and concurrent sessions at the conference and have your Workshop Attendance Confirmation Form and/or Concurrent Sessions Confirmation Form stamped by the facilitator in EACH workshop or concurrent session that you attend.
4.  Before leaving the conference, turn in your completed Confirmation Form(s) and a completed Conference Evaluation Form to the Professional Learning Desk at the Centreplex. Pick up a copy of the Professional Learning Unit (PLU) Course Completion Form to be completed after the conference or print out a copy from this website.
5.  After the conference, return to your workplace and begin implementation strategies learned at the conference.  Using the GaETC eJounal rubric, write a professional article and have it published on the eJournal website (http://ej.gaetc.net/). Once the article has been submitted and published, the PLU Course Completion Form should be completed, signed, and returned to: 
Vicki Rogers, GaETC Chair
ETTC at Macon State College
100 College Station Drive
Macon, GA 31206
The form must be submitted by March 1, 2005, in order to receive appropriate PLU credit.
6. Your PLUs will be awarded and reflected in a transcript that will be mailed to your district staff development office in July 2005. The number of PLUs will be based on your participation at the conference but will be no more than two PLUs.
7.  If you are an employee of a Georgia public or private school, the PLUs you have qualified for during the GaETC conference (along with any other PLU credit for classes taken at the Educational Technology Training Centers during the current training year) will be included in the annual transcript provided to school systems in mid-July of each year. If you are not currently employed as a teacher or if you need a transcript prior to mid-July, you may contact one of the ETTCs and request a transcript.
