Work Smarter, Not Harder

Each year, PPS reimburses teachers for up to 6 quarter PD credits. Advancing over 15 Graduate Level Professional Development Credits on the salary scale earns a $2499 raise. Over 12 years, this amounts to $29, 988 more than a non-advancing teacher. Invest in yourself now to maximize earning potential.

What’s the difference between WebEx and Self-Paced Classes?

WebEx Class Benefits: Teachers have the chance collaborate with other teachers and have an awesome live presenter, Dave Dunaway. Teachers meet at two scheduled times online and then complete some of the work independently. The course offerings change throughout the year. Check out the Live Course page on our website for more information

Self-Paced Class Benefits: Teachers can start anytime and work independently at their own pace. There are 26 courses to choose from.
