Last year I completed some of my board's professional learning activities that are also listed as Professional Learning Program (PLP) course options for one or more credits. How do I get them counted toward my professional learning record? |
|
If
the course you completed is listed on the College web site as an
approved PLP course, the provider-in this case, your school board-will
send the results to the College.
Providers send the College information only about courses you have
successfully completed. The College records this information on
the individual member's file.
Early
in 2003, you will be able to check for yourself through our Members'
Area on the College web site.
Until then, have your College registration number ready and call
Client Services at 416-961-8800, ext. 330 or toll-free in Ontario
at 1-888-534-2222 to verify your record.

My
board is an approved provider but didn't record attendance at last
year's professional learning workshops. The workshops did not have
an assessment component. Can these count? |
|
These
workshops can only count toward your professional learning record
if they meet all criteria for an approved activity, including a minimum
time component of five hours and an assessment component.
Some boards have told the College they may not have the ability to
facilitate an assessment component for the hundreds of activities
that occurred since June 30, 2001, or to ascertain which members attended
workshops.
As well, many of the workshops did not meet the minimum time requirement
of five hours. |
|
When
will I be able to see my own record of PLP credits and activities? |
|
Early
in 2003 through the Members' Area of the College web site, you will
be able to view your record of PLP credits indicating activities
that you have completed. The page will also indicate areas that
need to be completed.
This record will be updated on an ongoing basis as providers report
your successful completion of PLP activities. You may print this
record at any time.
As well, six months prior to the end of your cycle, the College
will mail to you a copy of your record, indicating the PLP credits
earned to that date and which credits you need to earn by December
31 of the final year of your five-year cycle.
|
|
What
identification information do I have to give a provider to make sure
my results are forwarded accurately to the College? |
|
To make sure
you receive the PLP credits you earn, a provider must submit several
clear identifiers for you-your name, your College registration number
and your date of birth-every time you successfully complete a course.
You may also
be asked to give your social insurance number and postal code. These
identifiers ensure that credits go to the appropriate individual.
