Professional Development Request Process

Thank you for your interest in receiving Professional Development Credit through Concordia, University, an approved ISBE provider.

The first step of our process is for a school administrator to fill out an Approved Professional Development Summary Form.  That form can be found in the box to the right of this tab.  Request forms must be received at least two weeks prior to the requested Professional Development activity.  Please send request forms to Katie Pece, Director of Field Experience (contact information provided above).

The Office of Field Experience will then review your request.  Approvals will be made for requests that meet ISBE requirements. Your event will be set up using the new ISBE Professional Development tool, PD+.  Administrators will then receive instructions to send to faculty and staff that will include a link for participants to register for the activity.  Participates will login to their ELIS account to register for the activity with the link provided.

Upon completion of the activity, participants will receive an email (from ISBE) to login to their ELIS account to complete a survey.  Completion certificates will then be provided directly from ISBE, and hours will be logged into their system electronically.
