PDU Updates
Learn about the 3 types of PDUs ProComp members can participate in this year: school-sponsored, individual, and central office sponsored.Central office will only sponsor PDUs for teachers and SSPs that need an additional community of practice outside the building due to their unique roles (PE, Art, Music, RNs, Social Workers, etc).All schools are strongly encouraged to make their coherent site-based PD plan based on their UIP into a school-sponsored PDU.
