McLean County Unit 5 Professional Development Academy
Unit 5 prides itself in offering quality professional development opportunities
to all educators. Educators are given opportunities to attend conferences outside
the district and/or enroll in courses at Illinois State University. Within the district
educators may attend a variety of courses based on the needs of its students and
teachers.
New Guidelines: Beginning fall of 2008 there is a limit of one
facilitator per Action Research PDA. Also all Action Research will be limited
to 6 hours. All other PDAs under 30 participants will have a limit of one
instructor. PDAs with more than 30 participants may have two instructors if requested.
Below is a new schedule for submitting PDA class requests.
PDA's cannot start until after 4:00 pm unless they are an
Action Research Team.

Class Cancellation: Classes must have a minimum of 15 participants registered
in order to be offered. Classes with fewer than 15 participants will be canceled.
Reminder of the Attendance Policy: Immediately after you enroll on-line
you will see a confirmation page. This means that your registration was completed
correctly. This does NOT confirm your spot in the
class. If there is a space for you in the class, you will receive
a confirmation e-mail about 3 weeks prior to the first class date that includes
class name and number, dates and times of class and any other important information.
No walk-ins are allowed!
Participants MUST attend ALL scheduled class hours.
If you arrive late or leave early, you may not receive the stipend or credit your
requested.
If you cannot attend a class you have signed up for, please notify us as soon as
possible by responding to the confirmation e-mail address.
We understand that content evolves in classes that are offered repeatedly so as
space allows, you may repeat a PDA, however you will receive a
credit or stipend only once.
If you have questions or comments contact
Stacy Keiser.
