Bill,

While not etched in tablets of stone, here is the ISBE Official Manual for 
claiming CPDU’s
            http://isbe.net/certification/pdf/CPDU_option.pdf   (scroll to the 
end for all the options and evidence needed)

Their base certification website does have some good information and resources.
            http://isbe.net/certification/

Remember that you will need to generate some Prof Development in Special Ed – 
serving all learners, but that is usually easy to address when you look at the 
adaptations and have discussions of those  (I try to weave that into any 
training I do for the participants)

Perhaps the hand of MD will weigh in eventually.  I know the whole 
certification issue does weigh heavily on the Regional Supts.

Terry

If anyone understands the hacking request I should have known it would be you.  
Exactly the syntax and parameters I was looking for.  I know just this week I 
have in-serviced my assistant, a productive kind and very intelligent fellow 
only lacking in experience, in the more advanced configs of Dansguardian, the 
monolithic co-opting of DNS by AD, that apt-get has been deprecated in favor of 
aptitude in Debian, and POP vs IMAP but it is only Wednesday morning.  Of 
course we had Monday off so we have not done to much yet.

Exactly what I needed as usual Terry!
Thank you very much.  Now I can hack this!

Bill,

You can generate CPDUs by presenting – even in house.  The first time you 
present on a topic (ed curriculum related) you can claim 8 CPDUs, for repeats 
of the SAME SESSION you can claim 3 CPDUs.  A new topic/session is again 
another 8 CPDUs.  Keep a program listing your name and topic for evidence.

You can generate CPDUs by being on committees.  Read the rules but if you meet 
5 times a year or 8 times a year (etc) you earn X  CPDUs.  Keep the agenda for 
evidence

You can do Action Research to generate CPDUs; You can publish an article to 
generate CPDUs.

There are many options other than seat time in a session by someone else.

All that said – I have the Opposite issue from you.   I did all my paperwork 
and documented everything and then when I tried to Certify my CPDUs for the ROE 
it would not let me . I checked with the ROE and they said  I was not eligible 
to claim CPDUs because I had to be “EXEMPT”    I have a Type 09 and I pay TRS.  
I tried to argue but got no where.  I even do some independent student students 
and give grades … but my ROE says I have to be EXEMPT.

I guess it comes down to local control at the ROE and what they want to do.  My 
personal panic is one day I try to claim TRS retirement and they tell me I 
still owe them 10 years because I was not an Active TRS member.  Enough rant 
but I was ticked when they would not let me certify my certificate with the 
CPDUs I had.

Terry

Subject: [tech-geeks] OT - Illinois TGs Hacking Professional Development forthe 
Autodidact

I am approaching a deadline for Continuing Ed and have very little to show for 
the last five years.  My Supt. does not believe in ITEC or anything that takes 
me out of town during school hours so I cannot get any formal credits without 
college night classes.  However like all TGs I am an autodidact.Just this month 
I spent about a day learning Big Blue Button, a FLOSS GoToMeeting/GoToAssist 
and will be rolling out this great new service any day now.  I would have 
trouble fitting all of the things I have taught myself over the last five years 
on five single spaced pages but I have almost nothing formal I am turned down 
when I try to attend a Feast or anything of the kind.

Is there any legal way for an autodidact to turn the continuing ed we must do 
ourselves to keep an ever expanding network current into ISBE recognized 
continuing ed?

How do you good and clever folks fill out your ISBE continuing ed requirements?

Thanks Gang!

BK
