Use your 18 PD Hours and 7 Hour Contractual PD Day before the school year ends!

(SFUSD paid Professional Learning opportunities)

All UESF-represented certificated staff (teachers, TSAs, counselors, nurses, school psychs, etc.) and all paraeducators have 18 Paid PD Hours to utilize annually. These hours are paid at a set rate and must be inputted by the educator into EMPowerSF, then approved in your timesheet. This totals $828 for certificated staff; $630 for child development program teachers; and $396 for paraeducators.

All paraeducators (including security aides, family liaisons, elementary advisors, SPED paras, early education paras, instructional aides, etc.) have a 7 Hour Contractual PD Day to utilize annually. This day must be directly inputted by the administrator into EMPowerSF (you alert your administrator to let them know to input it for you once completed).

Substitutes unfortunately do not qualify for these opportunities.

Don't forget to take advantage of these opportunities for additional pay and professional learning. You can attend site, district or external PD; engage in independent learning (videos, reading); engage in site or grade level collaboration; or otherwise advance your own learning. Details about each (inputting for pay, what qualifies, who qualifies, dates for qualification, etc.) can be found in the links above.
