FAQ

  • WHY DO I HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR STAFF DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE FRONTLINE?

    Frontline ensures that renewal credit is issued.

    WHEN CAN I RECEIVE RENEWAL CREDITS FOR A TRAINING?

    You must get approval from your principal prior to attending a training. You must sign up via the Frontline System to receive renewal credits and must sign the Frontline roster.

    Any training that is less than 5 hours cannot offer renewal credit. If a participant fails to attend a minimum of 5 hours of training, CEU’s will not be issued.

    WHY IS COMPLETING THE SURVEY IMPORTANT?

    The follow-up survey solicits your thoughts on implementation, impact on teaching practices, and student learning gains. This information is crucial to a final report that must be turned in to the State Department and the Federal Office of Education every June.

    WHAT DOES THE STATE DEPARTMENT AND THE FEDERAL OFFICE OF EDUCATION DO WITH THIS INFORMATION?

    The information is used to determine the level of funding for staff development offered through No Child Left Behind.

    HOW MANY SURVEYS DO I GET FOR EACH TRAINING?

    For every training, you will receive a follow-up survey within 48 hours following the conclusion of the training. You may also receive up to 3 progress reports and a final report for each training. If you do not complete the follow-up survey within the time frame allotted, you will forfeit your renewal credit for that training.

    WHAT HAPPENS IF I FORGET TO COMPLETE A SURVEY?

    Every participant who signs up for staff development via Frontline will be given one week to complete a survey.
    If you do not complete the follow-up survey within the time frame allotted, you will forfeit your renewal credit for that training.

    WHAT IF I SIGN UP FOR STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND THEN I AM UNABLE TO ATTEND THE TRAINING?

    Prior to the training date, you can cancel your activity proposal through Frontline. If cancellation needs to occur after the date of the activity, please contact Debbie Jones.

    WHEN WILL RENEWAL CREDIT NOT BE ISSUED?

    • Renewal credit will NOT be given for any activity that is less than 5 hours/.5 CEU’s.
    • Renewal credit will also be forfeited when you fail to complete the follow up survey within the allotted time frame (a survey will be sent out within 48 hours after the activity and a reminder will be sent one week after the survey is sent. Participants have 10 days from receiving the survey to complete it. If you do not complete the follow-up survey within the time frame allotted, you will forfeit your renewal credit for that training).
    • Failure to sign the Roster/Sign Up sheet at the training will result in forfeiture of CEU’s. (The roster must be initialed each time the group meets until the training is completed.)
