We have 24 hours to complete and our district offers at least that many in the summer. We do not receive anything except our PD hours which are required.

We have some required inservice days in August that are district wide.

Most years, we have optional days in July and August that are trade days. If you attend these programs, you can have off an inservice day in October or April. Most staff love this option.

I’m in the process of switching school districts so I cannot confirm about my new district but my former district did. I do think it’s extremely important that teachers get that pay when they give up hours outside their normal hours!

We have several opportunities for PD during the summer. Depending on the subject and the timeframe is it a paid PD. The state also has PD that the curriculum coaches attend.

Yes, my district does offer professional development during the summer and we do receive a stipend for it.

No, generally I am looking for opportunities myself. Fortunately, I have enough access to resources to offer me most of the choices that suit my needs. National Board Academy is one place that I can look to for PD for free.

I have access to an online platform for trainings, and while extra training isn't mandatory, I can pursue additional professional development if I wish. However, there's no stipend offered for these extra efforts.
