Professional Development Credit

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT CREDIT

All candidates in Le Sud de la France 2011 workshop will receive, upon successful completion of the course, a Certification of Completion which attests to your efforts and your presence at the course. For many school districts, this certificate is sufficient proof of successful professional development. To be sure of exactly which professional qualifications you need, check with your department chair, superintendent, or administrative office to be sure before you leave for the summer.

If desired, each participant may also receive a certificate of 85 Massachusetts Professional Development hours for the workshop after showing proficiency in a relevant subject area and submitting an appropriate end-of-course assessment to be decided upon at the conclusion of the workshop in conjunction with the Director. The French Traveler is an authorized provider by the Massachusetts Department of Education. Although The French Traveler does not share or publish these assessment results, they will be kept by our office for the required period of five years, in the event of an audit by the Massachusetts Department of Education. There is no fee for the PDP certificate.

The French Traveler regrets that our affiliation with the University of Massachusetts Boston to receive three graduate credits for the workshop has ceased.
