Typically, the identified PDE will arise from professional development needs. Identifying needs will include input from focus teams, base programs, Regional Directors, campus-based Program Leaders, and field and campus faculty. Needs may be identified by reviewing individual development plans. Proposals to address these needs are then submitted to the Program Directors, who along with others, will determine the PDEs to be developed and offered in the subsequent six-month period. A Web-based enrollment system has been designed for course registration.
Appropriate supervisors have administrative oversight for identifying appropriate participants.
As an ongoing part of evaluation, supervisors and Regional Directors will assess faculty core competencies. This document contains detailed information regarding PDE proposal submission, enrollment, expectations, timetables, flow charts, and evaluation. Core competencies also are identified.
