All Certified Staff in CCS should have received an email with log in information and the following professional development info.
As you all know, PowerSchool will be our replacement for NC WISE. This will be a state-wide student information system that will be implemented at the start of the 2013-14 school year. In order to provide all certified staff that currently use NC WISE with 1.0 Technology CEU for renewal, we must “blend” the initial course credit to include both online and face-to-face instruction. So, below you will see a list of courses that have been selected for teaching personnel to complete via PowerSource (online). Teachers are encouraged to complete these module-style courses and are free to explore other courses.
Online coursework should be completed by the start of the 2013-2014 school year. Feel free to explore at your own pace.
In order to receive 1.0 Technology CEU for PowerSchool (awarded during 2013-14 school year), teachers must complete the online “Distance Learning” courses below and the 4 hours of face-to-face training at the start of school. This is the “blended” solution if teachers want credit. All teachers are encouraged to explore the classes, even if credit is not desired. The online PowerSource classes will record completion, so no roster submissions are needed.
