Districts/Systems with PD Plans expiring on 7/31/2025 may turn them in to KSDE starting 4/1/2025 but no later than 8/1/2024. The plan does not have to have final local PDC approval to be turned in. Please email your plans as Word documents or any questions about PD Planning to professionallearning@ksde.org.
Please use the updated interim PD Plan guidance with template below to ensure that your 5-year professional development plan has the minimum components required based on the criteria established by the State Board and Kansas statutes and regulations. Its required use starting with the 2025 cohort will ensure a consistent, thorough, and timely review of plans.
The final version of the guidance is planned for release in February 2025. The updated Section 2 will reflect the use of the KESA School Improvment Model in the creation of the PD Plan and it clarifies the links between PDC operations, the limiting of PD Points for relicensing, and negotiated agreements.
