Click here to print document: 5 Easy Steps for Attending In-District Workshops during the Regular School Day


Staff Development offers a wide variety of workshops throughout the year during school and after school hours. Salary credit is available for workshops that take place outside of the normal school day. During the summer, Staff Development offers over a hundred opportunities to enhance your knowledge especially in the areas of technology, content area and differentiation.

1.  How will I know about workshops offered in the district?
The Office of Staff Development distributes this information through emails and flyers.  Technology skills classes are offered in the fall, winter/spring and summer.

2. How do I sign up for classes?
Send an email to the Staff Development Coordinator (Jane.Nutter@gpschools.org) or send a written request to the office.  NO PHONE REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Or if available, complete a registration form and return it to the Staff Development Office.

3.
How do I know if I’m registered for a class?
You will receive an email during the school year and a written confirmation during the summer if time allows.

4. How do I receive credit?
When you attend the class, make sure you sign the attendance sheet. The attendance sheet is the only proof of participation.

5. When do I receive credit?
The attendance sheet is returned to the Staff Development Office and the data is recorded in the employee files. Annually you will receive a report with all the workshops, committees, out of district classes and graduate credits you have accumulated during the past year.

6. What if I am unable to attend the class?
E-mail or call the Staff Development Office and leave a message (313.432.3047). If time allows we will call someone on the wait list to fill the spot.

7. Should I keep a separate record of workshops I attend throughout the year?

We are human and may make a mistake on your record, so keep a log of the following information until you receive your annual report:
Name of Workshop/ Instructor/ Date/ Time (length of class)/ Location

8. Who do I call regarding class availability?

Only inter-office mail or email requests will be taken for workshops.  Email Jane.Nutter@gpschools.org regarding availability.
